Low-FODMAP & Gluten-free Sesame & Ginger Dressing, Marinade or Dip

Have you ever had a salad at a Japanese or Asian restaurant? 

I’m talking about the kind with the thinly sliced carrots and chopped lettuce, topped with a super flavorful ginger dressing.

That’s the one! Did you wish you could make that dressing at home?  I did.

So, now we all can.

My low-FODMAP Sesame and Ginger dressing is creamy, smooth, sweet, and so delicious. It will be one of your absolute favorite dressings, guaranteed.

I love this Sesame and Ginger Dressing on veggies, but also enjoy it with grilled salmon, chicken, or as a topping for rice or French fries.

I even eat it straight from the spoon.  Not kidding.

Notice that I use garlic infused oil in this recipe, but not actual garlic.  Infused oils are OK to consume on the low-FODMAP diet, since the garlic is not ‘soluble’ (absorbed) in the oil base.  Read more low-FODMAP Diet Tips in my Top 11 Tips and Tricks for the low-FODMAP diet that no one ever tells you!

Notes

• Although this recipe has not been lab tested, a single serving should be low-FODMAP based on the ingredients (using available FODMAP data at time of posting)
• Yield: 8 ounces, about 8 servings. Serving size: 2 tablespoons
• Chef’s Tip: Keep fresh ginger in the freezer, and you never have to worry about this ingredient spoiling.  Just grate it frozen!
• You can substitute 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger for the fresh ginger, but it will have slightly less robust flavor
• Do not select a ‘seasoned’ rice vinegar variety as that will contain extra sugar
• Tahini is a sesame seed paste, it has a rich and delicious flavor
• See above content regarding tolerance of infused oils on the low-FODMAP diet!
