Oil-Free, Fat-Free, LOW-FODMAP MAPLE-MUSTARD Dressing

Everyone loves easy, simple salad dressings because dressings are incredibly versatile. They can be used to top salads, of course, but they also add a satisfying jolt of flavor when they're drizzled over vegetables, grains, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

However, salad dressings are typically rich in oil or other fats, such as nut or seed butters or avocado, all of which can trigger symptoms in some individuals with IBS. That's because fat ingestion may slow the movement of both food and gas through the intestines, potentially increasing pain and discomfort. In addition, foods that have a high fat content can produce exaggerated intestinal contractions (the body's natural gastrocolic reflex), especially in people with IBS. 

This classic, go-to salad dressing has just 2.5 ingredients. Well, two main ingredients and one that's optional. That's it! And best of all, it's fat-free and takes only one minute to prepare!
