What could be better than a fresh fruit salad on a hot summer day? I love fruit salads in general and this Low Fodmap Fruit Salad with Ginger Lime Syrup is exceptional: refreshing and delicious.
Eating fruit when following the Low Fodmap diet can be tricky. Make sure you keep the portion size to 1 cup of fruit salad and use only 1 tablespoon of ginger lime syrup per serve to avoid any issues.
I love the lime and ginger syrup, it adds an exotic and slightly spicy touch to a simple dish. It’s definitely the perfect way to end your meal: it’s healthy, delicious and it will satisfy your sweet cravings. Do try it!

Recipe Notes
Bananas are low Fodmap up to 100 grams (1 medium banana) when still firm (unripe) and yellow. However bananas become high Fodmap for fructans when ripe (yellow with brown spots). So, make sure the banana is not too ripe.
Use only 1 tablespoon of ginger lime syrup per serve. You can keep the remaining syrup in the fridge for up to 3 days.
