Low FODMAP Vinaigrette

August 13, 2018 by Amy

Having trouble finding a FODMAP friendly salad dressing? While store-bought dressings are convenient, most brands aren’t safe for the elimination phase of the low FODMAP program. If you’re not into salad nudity, check out this low FODMAP vinaigrette. Ready in 5 minutes, this salad dressing is the perfect topping for your greens.

When I started the low FODMAP program, I wasn’t sure where to find FODMAP friendly salad dressings. So, out of necessity, I became a salad nudist. Now I really enjoy the crisp, clean taste of veggies on their own. But, when I’m craving something different, I love this basic low FODMAP vinaigrette.

Made with an acidic base and a hint of lemon, this low FODMAP vinaigrette is the perfect dressing for any summer salad. If you need some lettuce inspiration, this dressing works really well with my low FODMAP summer salad.

Think this low FODMAP vinaigrette sounds great, but you don’t have time to try it now? Don’t worry, you can PIN THIS POST for later.

Keep It FODMAP Friendly

This low FODMAP vinaigrette is the perfect pair for your summer greens. Check out the notes below for tips on keeping this recipe FODMAP friendly.

First, Monash University has determined that olive oil and lemon juice don’t have any FODMAPs. So, you can add as much of these two ingredients as you want without adding to your FODMAP load.

Next up, red wine vinegar. According to the Monash app, red wine vinegar is safe in servings of 2 tbsp. This recipe uses 1 tbsp for 8 servings, which is well within the recommended range.

Our final ingredient is Dijon mustard. Monash recently updated their app to say Dijon mustard is safe in servings of 1 tbsp per sitting. This recipe uses 2 tsp of Dijon mustard in total which is well within the recommended serving size. Remember to check the label for any sneaky high FODMAP ingredients

Whose Side Are You On?

This low FODMAP vinaigrette has a bright pop of flavour that tastes great on fresh, leafy greens. Try this on a garden or summer-inspired salad and top with these tasty low FODMAP garlic shrimp or this quick and easy seasoned chicken breast.
