Low-FODMAP Thousand Island Dressing; Gluten-free, Vegan, Dairy-free

While on vacation a week ago I was getting supper at the hotel kiosk.  The best low-FODMAP option was a Cobb Salad (which I do LOVE), but there was no simple oil and vinegar dressing.  I selected a thousand island pouch and was careful not to have too much (due to added onion in the dressing).

But WOW, this dressing was a lovely flavor for the salad, even in a small amount.  I decided to create a low-FODMAP version, so I could enjoy a larger portion more often!

Low-FODMAP Thousand Island dressing is an old-school classic.  However, it is not a flavor to be underestimated. You can spread this lovely, sweet condiment on sandwiches (try with turkey or beef and swiss), dip your carrots in it, or spread it on your hamburgers or chicken sandwiches.  It is DELICIOUS.
