The useful answer

Lemon Vinaigrette and the low FODMAP diet

Lemon vinaigrette emulsifies oil, lemon juice, mustard, and herbs for a bright and balanced salad topping. Core ingredients remain low in fermentable carbohydrates when verified free of hidden garlic or onion additions. Commercial variations frequently add sugar, wheat thickeners, or high-fructose stabilizers to balance acidity. Those managing IBS should check labels for simplicity and measure usage carefully to prevent overlapping triggers. Preparing a homemade version ensures consistent symptom management.

Preparation & context

What can change the result?

Whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of black pepper for balanced citrus richness. Avoid adding honey or sugar to maintain predictable fructose levels and prevent unexpected digestive reactions. Shake vigorously before each use to temporarily recombine separated oils and ensure even coating on greens.
