Winter Salad with Bacon, Walnuts, and Orange Thyme Vinaigrette (Low FODMAP)
15 Minutes prep • 10 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-Free • Serves 6 • Ok to make-ahead: Steps 1 - 3
This vibrant, nutrient-packed salad is a true IBS game changer! Loaded with gut-friendly ingredients, it delivers satisfying crunch and bold flavors without triggering digestive distress.
Walnuts and pumpkin seeds bring healthy fats and gentle fiber, while baby arugula and mixed greens provide vitamins without the gas-inducing cruciferous overload. Crispy bacon adds irresistible savory notes, and dried cranberries offer natural sweetness that won't spike your blood sugar.
The real magic happens in the orange-thyme vinaigrette—bright, herbaceous, and made with Allulose, a low-FODMAP sweetener that's gentle on your gut while delivering perfect sweet-tart balance (you can also use white sugar if you’re not watching your carbs!) Parmesan brings aged-cheese umami without the lactose concerns of softer cheeses.
