Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette

Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette {Low-FODMAP}  /  Delicious as it Looks

I thought I’d write a special post to showcase my favorite salad dressing. I first posted it in November 2012 along with a salad recipe, but I love it so much, I though it deserved its own post.  I have altered the recipe slightly since then, so this is how I make it these days. I make this vinaigrette so much, I have the recipe memorized. I panic if I run out of the ingredients!

Balsamic Chicken Salad with Strawberries   /  Delicious as it Looks

It’s really easy to build a salad using this dressing. It goes really well with baby spinach or baby mixed greens. I then add some nuts, like toasted almonds, pecans or sunflower seeds. After that goes on some sort of fruit, like strawberries or craisins. If I was eating dairy right now I would add some crumbled feta or blue cheese. If I’m making the salad as a main dish for lunch, I add some sort of protein, like leftover rotisserie chicken or cooked quinoa.  My Balsamic Chicken Salad with Strawberries is a great example.

This dressing is also low-FODMAP, gluten-free and dairy-free. So without further ado, here is my favorite vinaigrette.

  2. Thank you for sharing! I will try this.

     
  3. is Balsamic considered low FODMAP?

     
  4. According to the Monash App, balsamic vinegar is low-FODMAP in a serving size of 1 tablespoon. So if you stick with about 2 tablespoons of this dressing, it should still be considered low-FODMAP.

     
  5. Just made this and put it on a lovely salad, delicious and no worries about pain from FODMAP containing dressings, thank you!!

     
  6. Thanks for this tasty recipe! Very quick to make and I totally enjoyed it on my salad. I bought your cookbook (e-reader version) as a result and am looking forward to trying many recipes you published. I book marked a ton of them. Thanks for sharing.
