Low FODMAP Tangy Potato & Egg Salad with Olives & Pickles
We have several low FODMAP potato recipes for you: this one is creamy yet tangy too, with the addition of cornichon pickles and black olives.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2- pounds (680 g) small yellow-skinned waxy potatoes, scrubbed
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, divided
- 3 hardboiled large eggs, cooled, peeled and chopped

Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 25 minutes. Drain and cool slightly. Transfer to large bowl, cut potatoes in half and toss with 1 tablespoon of the vinegar. Cool further until just barely warm to the touch. Fold in the cornichon, olives and celery; set aside.

Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, remaining 1 tablespoon of vinegar and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Scrape this dressing over the potatoes and fold together well. Then fold in the parsley. Your Low FODMAP Tangy Potato & Egg Salad with Olives & Pickles is ready to serve. I actually like it when it is still a tiny bit warm. You can also chill it down.

I love pickles, and used to can quarts and quarts of them every year. But now that I’m going low FODMAP, I can’t find any pickle recipes that don’t include garlic. Simply leaving it out of a regular recipe for dill pickles or most anything else just doesn’t get the job done. Please consider putting your minds and your tastebuds to this problem.
