Is Store Bought Italian Dressing Mix Keto?

While there may be some store-bought Italian dressing mixes that are Keto-friendly, most have added sugars or other ingredients, like maltodextrin that are best avoided on Keto.

How Long Does Salad Dressing Dry Mix Last?

When stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight jar, homemade salad dressing dry mix can last for several months to a year. Keep in mind that it may begin to lose a little of its flavor after the first few months.

Can I Customize the Flavors in Homemade Italian Dressing Mix?

You sure can. For a tangy twist, you can add in some dried lemon zest. You can also spice it up a notch with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.

The possibilities are endless. Have fun experimenting with the quantities of herbs and spices until you get it just like you like it.

Tips for Making Dressing Mixes Last Longer

Proper storage: Store your seasoning mixes in airtight containers, like small glass jars. This prevents moisture and air from getting in and deteriorating the freshness.

Keep it cool and dry: Keep your seasoning away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Lable and date: Remember to always label each container with the contents and the date you made it.

Use fresh ingredients: Starting with fresh ingredients ensure your dry mixes will last longer. Check the expiration date on you dried herbs and spices before adding them.
