    This Low FODMAP Lemon Vinaigrette is one delightful way to dress a salad! It’s light and refreshing and just reminds me of summer, but it can be enjoyed at any time of the year!

    Shopping list

    To make this easy low FODMAP salad dressing, add these ingredients to your shopping list:

    • Garlic-infused oil – ⅓ cup
    • Lemon – about 1 medium (to yield 3 tablespoons juice)
    • Red wine vinegar – 1 tablespoon
    • Dijon mustard – 1 teaspoon
    • Dried oregano – ½ teaspoon

    Low FODMAP notes

    In this section, I share information for certain ingredients that are either frequently asked about or that have suggested serving sizes to remain low FODMAP. We each have unique tolerance levels and nutritional needs. Please listen to your body (and if possible, work with a FODMAP-trained dietitian) to determine what is best for you. For more low FODMAP serving size info, please refer to the Monash FODMAP app and FODMAP Friendly website or app.

    Dijon Mustard is low FODMAP in servings of 1 tablespoon or 23 grams.

    Garlic-infused oil is a popular way to add low FODMAP garlic flavor on the low FODMAP diet. My current favorite is Colavita Roasted Garlic Olive Oil (technically a garlic-flavored oil) that has been confirmed to be low FODMAP by Monash University. Learn more about why garlic-infused oil is okay in my Low FODMAP Garlic and Onion Substitutes post.

    Lemon juice is low FODMAP in servings up to a ½ cup or 125 grams.

    Red wine vinegar is low FODMAP in servings of 2 tablespoons or 42 grams.

    Serve this with

    I think this vinaigrette is especially delicious tossed with romaine, diced tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives, and grilled salmon or chicken.

    A yummy grilled chicken option for this salad suggestion is my Low FODMAP Moroccan Chicken. Yum!

      I’m new to low FODMAP and made this dressing two days ago. I’m sensitive to so many things but this dressing on top of my salad was perfect. Tasted great and didn’t bother my tummy so I’m going to make more today. My salad ingredients: green leaf lettuce, red bell peppers, cucumber, carrot, hard boiled egg, canned tuna & your lemon vinaigrette. Yum!

      Just tried this tonight. Yum! I’m thinking of adding in a little lemon zest next time to kick up the lemon flavor, but it was great with a grilled chicken salad. Thanks for posting it!

        Hi Debbie, Do you mean Grey Poupon? If so, I have – it’s a great option. Sugar is low FODMAP and “spices” on US ingredient labels are also okay. 🙂

      What brand of dijon mustard do you recommend? I’ve had trouble finding one I like.

        Hi Melissa, is it a taste thing? Or something else that you don’t like about it? I know a lot of people like Grey Poupon or Maille, but they may be a little stronger in flavor. I think I’ve seen some “mild” options. I generally buy whatever is on sale (I’m using a Dijon from Aldi right now), but I enjoy the flavor of Dijon regardless.

      Hi Emily,

      How long can this be stored in the fridge? Can it be frozen, and for how long?

      Thanks!

        Hi Beth! Great question. I recommend using this vinaigrette within a week, if stored in the fridge. I wouldn’t recommend freezing – oil-based foods tend to break down in the freezer. Thanks!
