What to know about vinaigrette

Vinaigrette is the better dressing, not a clean one, and it is worth being precise about the difference. It earns its reputation on the columns creamy dressings fail: it grades A for dairy protein, lactose, gluten and nightshades, where ranch and french style dressings sit at C or worse for nightshade, free glutamate and histamine. What it does not escape is its own two ingredients. Fructans grade C because garlic and onion, usually as powder, are in nearly every bottled vinaigrette and most restaurant house dressings, and sulfites grade C because wine vinegars start life as sulfited wine and often get more added as a preservative. Histamine sits at a borderline B, since vinegar is a fermented product. The fix is not to avoid vinaigrette, it is to make it yourself.

Watch for

Fructans C.Garlic and onion powder are the default flavour base of commercial vinaigrettes, which is what pushes total FODMAPs to a C on an otherwise simple dressing. Read the label rather than assuming oil and vinegar
Sulfites C.Wine vinegars carry sulfites from the wine plus whatever is added as a preservative, so vinaigrette is a quiet contributor for anyone tracking sulfite reactions such as wheeze or flushing
Vinegar is fermented, so histamine grades a borderline B.Aged vinegars are far worse than that: balsamic grades E for both histamine and sulfites, and red wine vinegar grades E for histamine and D for tyramine. Which vinegar you choose changes the dressing more than anything else does
Italian and balsamic style bottles routinely add sugar, thickeners, cheese or anchovy, none of which appear in the name.That is where a supposedly clean dressing picks up dairy protein and glutamate
A homemade version with a tolerated oil, a mild vinegar or a citrus you get on with, salt and no alliums drops nearly all of this.The dressing is only as complicated as you make it
