Low FODMAP
Avocado Dressing
Safe in normal portions. Unlikely to trigger symptoms.
Avocado dressing combines ripe avocado flesh with oil, acid, and herbs to create a creamy condiment. Avocados are naturally low in FODMAPs at moderate servings and provide beneficial monounsaturated fats for gut motility. The overall tolerance depends heavily on added ingredients like garlic powder, onion, or honey, which can quickly elevate FODMAP content. Commercial varieties often contain dairy bases or hidden sweeteners that further complicate digestion. Preparing a simple homemade version ensures full ingredient transparency and safer consumption.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Limit the avocado portion to a quarter fruit per serving to avoid excess sorbitol that may cause loose stools in sensitive individuals. Blend the dressing with lime juice and cilantro instead of lemon to introduce a brighter flavor profile without increasing acidity. Store leftovers in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface to prevent browning.
