Tips and Tricks
Making homemade salad dressing is so simple and easy! It is always worth the extra five minutes it takes to make it fresh.
Ingredient Swaps
- Oil Options: Use any neutral oil like canola, vegetable, or grapeseed.
- Garlic Oil: If you don’t have garlic oil, sub in ¼ teaspoon of low FODMAP garlic salt from Smoke and Sanity. I buy it from Amazon.
- Vinegar Options: White distilled vinegar or white wine vinegar will also work.
FAQs
Pure maple syrup is a great low FODMAP sweetener option. However don’t be fooled with imitation maple syrup which can contain high fructose corn syrup. Always check the ingredients!
Storing
Store: Keep dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to seven days. Give it a good shake before using.

Meal Planning
I love to use this salad dressing for a fall spinach salad with mandarin oranges for a flavorful low FODMAP salad option. Add oven-roasted pork tenderloin, roasted vegetables, and crock pot pumpkin soup for a fall-inspired meal. It also works on grain bowls or as a dipping sauce for gluten free chicken nuggets!
