I've always loved balsamic vinegar. But, store-bought balsamic dressings are loaded with sugar and just can't compare in flavor with homemade.  

If you've started Keto, and you're missing the flavors of balsamic salad dressing, but don't really want the carbs that come from the added sugars, you need to try this amazing homemade Keto balsamic dressing recipe.

It uses equal parts balsamic and white wine vinegar in this dressing.  It still has that classic balsamic dressing flavor, but with much fewer carbs! And by using an Immersion Blender to emulsify it, you get that perfect creamy texture!  

If you don't have an immersion (stick) blender, you can use a bullet blender or traditional blender instead.  Making your own low carb salad dressing is so easy and the best part is you control the ingredients used, preventing added sugars and preservatives!

How to Make Low Carb Creamy Balsamic Dressing

Add all the ingredients to a tall cup, ideally the one that is included with an immersion blender.

Mix for about 2 minutes until slightly thickened and well combined.

The dressing will thicken as it sits. The consistency is just perfect; however, if you'd like it even thicker, you can add ⅛ teaspoon of xanthan gum.

Serve this tangy and delicious Keto salad dressing over a bed of your favorite salad greens.

If you like a little sweetness in your dressing, you can add in the Swerve confectioners.  I added ¼ teaspoon and it added the perfect amount of sweetness, without being too sweet.

How Do I Store Creamy Balsamic Dressing?

The creamy part of this salad dressing comes from, in part, the heavy cream. Because dairy should be kept in the chilled, you'll want to store leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge. After it has chilled, it may partially solidify. When you're ready to serve it, just give it a good shake and the ingredients will come back together.

Is Balsamic Vinegar Keto?

First, you may wonder, " What exactly is Balsamic Vinegar?" Balsamic vinegar is a dark, thick, syrupy concentrated vinegar. It is made from made from a reduction of grapes and aged for years in wooden barrels. Originating in Italy, the mouth- watering complex flavors make a delicious salad dressing or marinade.

Balsamic vinegar contains sugar, even though it's all natural sugar from the fruit, it can cause the carbs to be too high for Keto or low carb diets. It's for this reason, I cut the balsamic with 1:1 parts white wine vinegar. With this substitution, you can enjoy Balsamic Salad dressing on Keto without guilt. This recipe only has 2 net carbs per serving. That's comparable to most all low carb salad dressings.
