Moderate FODMAP
Salsa Roja
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Salsa roja combines roasted tomatoes, chilies, onion, and sometimes garlic for a smoky and tangy topping. Tomatoes and peppers remain low in FODMAPs, but traditional recipes rely heavily on onion for aromatic depth. Commercial jars often add sugar, wheat thickeners, or high-fructose stabilizers to standardize consistency and extend shelf life. Those managing ITS should verify ingredient simplicity before incorporating into recipes. Using small portions and selecting onion-free alternatives ensures safer consumption.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Simmer charred tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeños to create a smoky salsa that eliminates onion triggers completely. Avoid commercial jars that list onion powder or high-fructose corn syrup near the top of the ingredient panel to maintain purity. Serve immediately alongside grilled proteins to enjoy optimal temperature and fresh flavor integration.
