This bright, tangy vinaigrette comes together in minutes with a whisk and a small bowl—no blender required. Balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard form a bold, tangy base, whisked with salt and freshly ground black pepper until fully smooth. Extra virgin olive oil gets streamed in slowly to build a silky, emulsified texture that clings beautifully to greens, and a few fresh thyme leaves add an herby, aromatic finish if you want it. It keeps well in the fridge for a week, so it's easy to have a go-to dressing on hand whenever you need one. This is a solid, reliable choice for a low FODMAP kitchen, delivering all the richness and tang of a classic vinaigrette without any guesswork. Just give it a good shake before pouring, since it naturally separates on standing.
