I frequently get asked the question "How do I eat more fat?" While in a perfect world, you can eat globs of coconut oil off a spoon, it's just not that attractive of an offer to most ketoers out there. Instead, you can create a keto salad dressing, pack it on top of a salad full of greens (micronutrient filled), and enjoy to your hearts content! Instead of worrying about how many carbs a dressing has, or which to choose from - you could make your own in just about the same amount of time. ...

The Guide to a Dairy Free Keto Diet
Doesn't it seem like dairy is in everything? From keto recipes to high-carb snacks and candy, there's some kind of milk product in so many things that we eat. This isn't a problem if you're not allergic or intolerant to dairy at all, but what should you do if struggle with lactose or dairy proteins — especially when you are on a diet that typically consists of a lot of dairy like the ketogenic diet? Fortunately, there are a wide variety of dairy substitutions and dairy-free recipes that ...

Zesty Keto Italian Dressing
This recipe is very similar to my honey vinaigrette recipe. In fact, I just add the herb mix that I keep on hand to the honey vinaigrette if I already have that keto salad dressing made. Also, like the honey vinaigrette, this recipe develops its flavor over time. For this reason, I recommend you make it a day or two in advance. But like all of the recipes in our condiment section, it's still delicious even without waiting! I figure if I'm going to get all of those herbs out, I might as well ...

The Best (and Worst) Mayo For Keto: Store-Bought Brands, Keto Recipes, and What to Avoid
Mayonnaise is arguably the best condiment for the keto diet. Not only does it add a satisfying creaminess to keto-friendly meals, but keto mayo can provide us with a zero-carb source of healthy fats, micronutrients, and antioxidants as well. Unfortunately, not every mayo you find in the store will be optimal for your health. Many mayo products and recipes use unhealthy oils and added sugars, so it is important to be mindful of what you buy (and make) to get the results you want with ...

Catalina Style Dressing
I love being able to whip up a keto salad dressing from scratch with my emulsion blender! Even if I don't have my homemade ketchup on hand for this recipe, it only takes a few minutes more to make it first. Keeping my fermented ketchup or mayo (which last quite a while) on hand really makes this a cinch! They are the base for most of my salad dressings. The Catalina is one of our favorites. It has a tangy sweet taste that is both subtle and rich. It goes well with just about any kind of salad ...

Keto BLT Salad
Bacon, lettuce and tomatoes - three things that are delicious in a sandwich! Today, we are deconstructing it into a salad with a nice mayonnaise-based garlic dressing. It can’t get any better than this. Now, you don’t have to use iceberg lettuce for this recipe. In fact, most BLT’s come with romaine, but using iceberg lettuce gives it a nice crisp and crunch. The dressing can be altered as well - add some hot sauce for a big kick or a tiny bit of powdered sweetener to really bring out the ...
