Dress up your next salad with this 2 minute creamy balsamic dressing that has great flavor and is super easy to make!
I’ve always loved balsamic vinegar and have been making my own dressings for many years. Since I started Keto, I have cut way down on using it and have leaned more towards apple cider or white wine vinegars in my Keto friendly dressings. But I really found I missed that amazing flavor that you can only get from balsamic vinegar.
So to cut down on carbs a little, I use equal parts balsamic and white wine vinegar in this dressing. It still has that classic balsamic dressing flavor, but with much less carbs! I also used my Immersion Blender to emulsify this dressing, and it works perfectly! 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 is not loaded with preservatives!
How to Make Low Carb Creamy Balsamic Dressing
Ingredients
2/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 small clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1/4-1/2 teaspoon Swerve confectioners
Preparation
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 and if you’d like it even thicker, you can add 1/8 teaspoon of Xanthan Gum. I don’t think it needs it at all, I feel the consistency is just perfect!
Serve over a salad.
Note: If you like a little sweetness in your dressing, you can add in the Swerve confectioners. I added 1/4 teaspoon and it added the perfect amount of sweetness, without being too sweet.
