Low-FODMAP Ponzu sauce is an easy, bright and flavorful marinade or dressing. Tummy friendly, gluten-free, and vegan.
Ponzu sauce is an Asian marinade/dressing with a citrus soy base. It is bright tasting as well as flavorful.
Making it from scratch is easy, and so much tastier with freshly juiced fruit.
Traditionally, ponzu is made with a combination of lemon and lime juice, but variations are welcome. You could select all lemon, all lime, or try using fresh orange juice instead.

It is lovely over a sushi bowl, fluffy coconut rice, or other Asian inspired fish, chicken, or salad.
But the best combination is over my Low-FODMAP Poke/Sushi Bowl
