I’ll never forget the day I discovered this Low FODMAP Lemon Vinaigrette recipe. After months of bland salads that left my family uninspired, I was determined to create something that wouldn’t upset my sensitive stomach but would still make everyone excited about vegetables.
This bright, zesty dressing became our game-changer. My daughter now asks for “the special lemon sauce” on her greens, and my little guy has turned it into his favorite dipping sauce for Low FODMAP Chicken Tenders. When you’re managing IBS, finding foods that bring joy back to mealtime feels like striking gold.
Why This Low FODMAP Lemon Vinaigrette Works
This Low FODMAP Lemon Vinaigrette strikes the perfect balance between tangy brightness and smooth richness without any of the high FODMAP culprits that used to send my stomach into chaos.

It’s become our household hero, especially when I make my Low FODMAP spicy salmon salad for my daughter. She always asks for extra dressing on the side, and honestly, I don’t blame her. When a recipe makes everyone at the table happy and keeps my gut calm, it earns permanent fridge space.
