You won’t need more than just five common ingredients that are most likely already in your cupboard. And, of course, you can enhance the flavor of the dressing with additional spices or even a touch of Tabasco sauce if that sounds appealing.

The Ingredients For This Simple Allergy-Friendly Salad Dressing are:

• Olive oil
• Lemon juice ~ preferably fresh squeezed
• Dry mustard
• Salt
• Ground pepper
• Optional Tabasco sauce
• Italian Seasoning ~ optional
• Xanthan gum or guar gum ~ optional thickeners

This dressing has a fairly thin consistency, but you can easily thicken it by adding some guar gum or  Xanthan gum. For a Low FODMAP diet, use guar gum.

Salads are more appealing when a variety of vegetables and even fruits are added to the mixed greens.
Try adding some of these fresh fruits and vegetables in your next salad:

• Blueberries
• Strawberries
• Grapes
• Mango
• Bok choy
• Swiss Chard ~ stems and leaves (I prefer the stems chopped small)
• Radishes
• Arugula
• Sprouts
