Description
This Low FODMAP Balsamic Vinaigrette (Balsamic Salad Dressing) is a simple, low FODMAP salad dressing that comes together in less than 3 minutes and calls for pantry staple ingredients. Low FODMAP (in servings of up to 2 tablespoons), low carb, Keto, dairy-free, and gluten-free with Paleo and Whole30 options.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar*
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon liquid stevia (optional)*
Instructions
- Add Add all ingredients to a small glass jar or squeeze bottle (preferred for this dressing).
- Shake Secure lid and shake vigorously until well combined.
- Taste Taste and adjust seasonings and sweetener (if using) as desired.
- Serve and Store Serve on your favorite salads. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.* Shake to combine before reserving.
Notes
- Servings: makes about 1/2 cup total or four, 2-tablespoon servings. I typically find just 1 tablespoon sufficient for a serving.
- Balsamic vinegar: Monash University's Low FODMAP Diet App lists balsamic vinegar as containing the FODMAP fructose and is low FODMAP in quantities of up to 1 tablespoon or 21 grams per serving. See "Is balsamic vinegar low FODMAP?" section above for more detailed FODMAP info.
- Liquid stevia: I find this dressing tastes best with a tiny bit of sweetener added. I use liquid stevia as it is low FODMAP and low carb/Keto, but you could use pure maple syrup if eating Paleo to taste (I’d start with ¼ teaspoon, taste, and add more if needed). Omit if eating Whole30.
- Storage: This vinaigrette keeps best when stored at room temperature, but it should only be kept 3-4 days. I keep mine in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, but it congeals in the colder temperature. If that happens, I either remove it from the refrigerator a minimum of 10 minutes prior to serving, and then shake to recombine after it has warmed up a bit. If I need it urgently, I stick it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds to liquify and shake to recombine.
