Malt vinegar contains no FODMAPs and is the star of our No FODMAP Malt Vinegar Salad Dressing. More than a sum of its parts, extra-virgin olive oil, malt vinegar and salt and pepper make an Elimination worthy salad dressing. We love this salad dressing with our No FODMAP Vegetable Salad and our No FODMAP Leafy Green Salad.
These no FODMAP recipes are based upon foods that have shown to contain no FODMAPs in lab testing. In subsequent lab tests, some of these same ingredients have shown FODMAP content. All lab tests are accurate and represent what was tested at the time. One limitation of the Monash University and FODMAP Friendly apps is that only one data set can be shown at a time. In addition, the fruits and vegetables you buy literally cannot be the same as those tested at any time. Use the app entries as guides, and not absolutes.
Please read our article, When Monash University and FODMAP Friendly Lab Tests Differ, for a more explicit explanation.
No FODMAP Foods
Luckily, since you will most likely want to be putting this salad dressing on some salads, know that red bell pepper, cucumbers, carrots and red lettuce, butter lettuce and leafy endive (to name a few choices) have lab tested to show no FODMAPs at one point in time.
Is Malt Vinegar Gluten-Free?
Malt vinegar is not gluten-free. It is typically made from barley. Not that the low FODMAP diet is not a gluten-free diet, which is how the no FODMAP design nation for malt vinegar is possible.
Ingredients For No FODMAP Malt Vinegar Salad Dressing
When you have a recipe, such as this, which contains so few ingredients, you want to make sure that each and every one is of the highest quality.
Extra-virgin olive oil – Use an olive oil that you LOVE. One brand from another will vary hugely in flavor. Have a tasting to determine your “go-to” oil.
Malt Vinegar – We can find malt vinegar in our regular supermarket, but you might have to order yours online, so check in plenty of time.
Kosher Salt – In our Test Kitchen we like to use kosher salt for our cooking and fine table salt for our baking. Use kosher salt here; we prefer its flavor.
Freshly Ground Black Pepper – When it comes to pepper, it has to be freshly ground. Period. This peppermill is a Peppermate and I love it. Very easy to use.
