This low FODMAP cilantro lime dressing is a refreshing and flavorful addition to any salad. It's made with a blend of olive oil, lime juice, fresh basil and mint, garlic, black pepper, and salt. The lime oil adds a bright citrus flavor, while the coconut milk gives the dressing a creamy texture. This dressing is also gluten-free and dairy-free, making it a great option for people with food allergies or sensitivities.
I first developed this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a way to add some flavor to my salads without using any high-FODMAP ingredients. I experimented with a few different combinations of ingredients, and I finally settled on this one. I love the way the lime juice, fresh basil, and mint brighten up the flavor of the dressing, and the garlic and pepper add a nice depth of flavor. The coconut milk gives the dressing a creamy texture, and it also helps to balance out the acidity of the lime juice.
