Ingredients in Keto Balsamic Salad Dressing
This Balsamic Dressing is super easy to make — you probably have all the required ingredients on hand. And, you can even shake it up in a mason jar if you don’t have an immersion blender handy.
You’ll need just a handful of common pantry ingredients to create this easy keto salad dressing.
- balsamic vinegar
- extra virgin olive oil
- a touch of dijon mustard
- fresh or dried herbs
- fresh minced garlic or garlic powder
- salt and powder
- optionally, a bit of mayonnaise will turn this basic vinaigrette into a creamier style of balsamic dressing
Carbs in Balsamic Vinegar
If you read the nutrition labels like I do, you’ll notice that different balsamic vinegar brands contain different amounts of sugars and carbs. When you are shopping, look for a vinegar that doesn’t contain any added sweeteners or colorings.
Aged balsamic contains a little sugar, so be mindful of how much you consume and skip any other added sugars in your salad recipe.
If you want to reduce carbs even further, you can use other types of vinegar. Substitute any kind of vinegar you like, such as red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
How to Make the Best Keto Balsamic Vinaigrette
Place all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. If you have an immersion blender, you can blend the ingredients together to keep them emulsified for longer. If you prefer to make the dressing in a mason jar, you can put on the lid and shake everything to combine.
Seriously, that’s all there is to it.
How to Store Keto Balsamic Salad Dressing
One thing I like to do is make a big batch of homemade salad dressing that I can use throughout the week. This balsamic dressing is perfect for hearty spinach salads, romaine salads, and even as a dressing for oven-roasted vegetables.
If you can make larger batches of this recipe, you can store it in the refrigerator for a week or two. It might separate, but that’s okay. Just shake it up before using.
