6 Low FODMAP Mayonnaise Combos to Tasty Up Your Meals
2. Pesto Mayo
Pesto mayo combines the creamy goodness of mayo with the vibrant, herby flavour of pesto. As long as you opt for a pesto made with low FODMAP ingredients (see our recipe below), you can enjoy this delicious combo without setting off your gut.
Low FODMAP Pesto Recipe
1 cup fresh basil (tightly packed)
½ cup pepitas/pumpkin seeds
2 tbsp garlic infused oil
6 tbsp olive oil (or other neutral tasting liquid vegetable oil)
2 tbsp lemon juice
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
Directions
Place the basil, pepitas/pumpkin seeds, garlic infused oil, olive oil, lemon juice into a blender or food processor. Season with salt and pepper.
Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too dry then add another drizzle of olive oil and blend again.
Pop in a glass jar and pour a small amount of olive oil on top (this will help stop the basil pesto from discolouring). Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or pop into the freezer. Enjoy 1 – 2 tbsp per serve.
