How To Make Keto Salad Dressing
This section shows how to make keto friendly salad dressing, with step-by-step photos and details about the technique, to help you visualize it. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card. Making this sugar free dressing takes just 5 minutes! Simply grab a mixing bowl and whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, Wholesome Yum Keto Honey, sea salt, and black pepper. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste as needed.
Storage Instructions
The best way to store this homemade keto salad dressing recipe is in an airtight container in the refrigerator — it lasts up to 1 month! It’s also fine on the counter for a few days. I like to use a mason jar, but you could also store dressing in a reusable salad dressing bottle. The dressing can separate when storing. Before using again, just shake in the sealed jar or bottle, whisk, or store in a dressing shaker for easy use.

Spring Mix Salad – Fresh, crisp greens make up the base of this delicious spring mix salad recipe. With crunchy walnuts, sweetness from juicy blueberries, and creamy goat cheese crumbles, it would pair perfectly with a honey dressing. Baby Kale Avocado Salad – A light but satisfying mix of tender baby kale, creamy avocado, and sharp Parmesan cheese, all perfectly balanced with the refreshing tanginess of this sugar free dressing. Smoked Salmon Salad – Succulent smoked salmon, creamy avocado, sweet blueberries, and crunchy pistachios work nicely with a sweet vinaigrette. Kale Salad – A drizzle of dressing would add even more texture and flavor to this salad, complete with crunchy almonds, chewy dried cranberries, and tender kale. Strawberry Spinach Salad – An irresistible combination of sweet strawberries, crunchy almonds, crisp spinach, and crumbled goat cheese. This dressing would make the perfect finish! Broccoli Cranberry Salad – Crunchy broccoli combines with bacon bits, toasted walnuts, and sweet dried cranberries. This honey dressing would add a touch of tangy sweetness.
You can also use this sugar free vinaigrette as a marinade for chicken or even fish!
What Salad Dressing Is Keto?
Any salad dressing that does not have sugar will fit macros for a keto diet, but if you’re following the lifestyle for health reasons, it’s a good idea to look for clean ingredients as well. In stores or at restaurants, common keto friendly salad dressing options are savory creamy dressings, such as ranch or blue cheese, or oil-based dressings that are not sweet, such as vinaigrettes. Sweet vinaigrette dressings, such as honey vinaigrette, are typically not keto friendly. That’s why I was so excited to create this sugar free salad dressing recipe that is keto even though it’s sweet, thanks to my Wholesome Yum Keto Honey.
