A Comprehensive Guide to Keto-Friendly Salad Dressing

December 9, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Greens, meat, and high-fat dressing — the quick and easy keto trinity that’ll help you meet your needs for vitamins, minerals, fiber, fat, and protein in one low-carb meal.  Finding a healthy and tasty keto salad dressing, however, can get tricky when you venture beyond olive oil and vinegar. Most of the popular dressings will either be high in sugar or packed with inflammatory oils (and sometimes both). Even dressings that seem keto-friendly may still contain unhealthy ingredients.

The most delicious and healthy way to get more veggies in your diet is with a keto salad recipe. But why must we have the distinction of "keto salad"? Aren't all salads — with their leafy green and oily dressings — low-carb and keto-friendly anyway? Not necessarily. Many popular salads come with sugary dressings, bread, and croutons that turn one of the healthiest meals you can consume into a delivery mechanism for more carbs and unhealthy ingredients. Fortunately, your salad doesn't have ...

This salad is sure to leave you full until dinnertime. The base of this salad is a blissful spring mix next to smoked salmon, which is one of my favorite additions to any keto salad as it contains a high amount of fats and good protein. The salmon is really the key to this recipe. It is then topped off with avocado slices and onion to give the salad a crispy crunch. The salad dressing includes a dash of sweetener with mustard and white wine vinegar. It is a perfect pair between sweet yet ...

With eggs, bacon, chicken, and avocado, the cobb salad is already keto friendly. I tried pairing it with a traditional red wine vinaigrette and it was out of this world.

With minimal prep time, the Arugula & Caramelized Onion Salad is great for weekly food prep or a family dinner. As long as you store the salad dressing separately from the salad mix, this is ...

There’s minimal prep time; the most time-consuming part of this recipe is cooking and preparing the asparagus spears. You also don’t have to dunk them in cold water afterward, however, it’s ...
