I use olive oil - a monounsaturated oil - with my vinager. However, I keep the ratio of oil to vinegar quit low usually 1/4 oil and 3/4 vinegar or lemon juice. I only put about 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of the dressing on my salad. Most of it ends up on the bottom of the salad bowl anyway.

Your body needs healthy fats in order to function. Keep your fat intake to 20% - 25% of your total calories, and make your fats count. They should be monounsaturated and contain essential fatty acids, so choose fat sources such as olive oil, canola oil, avocados, finely ground nuts, fatty fish, flax oil, etc. Because all fats, even heart-healthy choices, are still potential IBS triggers, please follow the Irritable Bowel Syndrome dietary guidelines detailed in How to Eat for IBS

Having said that sometimes I cannot tolerate salads at all even without a dressing. When I can eat salad I usually squeeze a bit of lemon on it without any oil .. Good Luck
