Low FODMAP notes
In this section, I share information for ingredients that are either frequently asked about or 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 Monash University has confirmed to be low FODMAP. 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 of 1 tablespoon or 21 grams. Larger servings, greater than ⅔ cup, contain moderate to high levels of the FODMAP, fructans.
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 just found out I have to go on low FODMAP diet. I have many GI my doctor told me to eat a big salad everyday. This dressing is wonderful I was wondering if you have other recipies as I will be eating big salads for quite a while. Thank you for posting.
Tracy R. says
Really delicious! We used it on a green salad with a little feta, and it paired perfectly with the feta! 🙂
Elisha says
Oh, PS, I was out of mustard so I subbed dry mustard powder! Still tasted great!
Elisha Pettit says
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!
Laura says
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!
Debbie Butz says
grey coupon has sugar and spices. Has anyone tried this brand?
Em Schwartz, MS, RDN says
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. 🙂
Yvette says
You could use it for a Marienated rub sauce for
Lemon Chicken 🐔 too!
Yummy!
Melissa says
What brand of dijon mustard do you recommend? I've had trouble finding one I like.
Emily says
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.
Vanessa says
Thanks for sharing! Does it keep long?
Emily says
Thanks, Vanessa! I usually recommend for use with 3-4 days.
Suzanne says
This looks so good! I love the combination or lemon and dijon!
Emily says
Thanks, Suzanne! Dijon + lemon is a dreamy combination. 🙂
Tom Doran says
Em,
Your vinaigrette makes salad interesting again. Thanks!
Emily says
Thanks, Tom!
Beth says
Hi Emily,
How long can this be stored in the fridge? Can it be frozen, and for how long?
Thanks!
Emily says
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!
Delores Smith says
Love this!
Emily says
Thank you, Delores! It's one of my favorites. 🙂
