💡 Tips for Making the Best Keto Dipping Sauce

• This recipe is so incredibly easy. You just mix all the ingredients together and you’re done! One thing that makes this sauce the best is the homemade mayonnaise.
• Sure, you can use store bought, Keto friendly mayo, but the rich and smooth creaminess of this dipping sauce comes from the base of freshly made mayo. It only takes seconds to whip up, so give it a try!
• To enjoy the maximum flavors this Keto dipping sauce has to offer, it’s best to allow it to sit for a while in the fridge before serving.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• To ramp up the garlic flavor, replace the garlic salt with 1 clove of grated fresh garlic.
• For added onion flavor, finely mince 1 teaspoon of shallots or 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder.
• If you perfect not to use mayonnaise, you can substitute with sour cream or Greek yogurt. You can also use half mayonnaise and half sour cream or Greek yogurt for added tang and still have the creaminess of the mayo.
• For a little kick of heat, add in a few shakes of hot sauce or red pepper flakes.
• If you don’t have fresh lemon juice, you can use fresh lime juice instead.
• For added spice and a stronger smokey flavor, add in 1 finely chopped canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce instead of the smoked paprika. If you decide to add this, I would recommend also swapping out the lemon juice for lime juice, as the flavors pair so nicely together. You could even add in a little fresh chopped cilantro for a Tex-Mex spin.
• To make this sauce into a Keto Fry Sauce, omit the horseradish sauce and replace the lemon juice with pickle juice.

Is Sugar-Free Zesty Dipping Sauce Spicy?

This recipe has a great balance of flavor to accompany most anything you want to serve it with. It isn’t real spicy, but feel free to make it your own.

If you’d like it spicier, add a little hot sauce or cayenne pepper. If you want it milder, add more mayo. If you want it to be a little more smoky, you can add a drop or two of liquid smoke.

It’s such an easy recipe, you just can’t mess it up.

Is Zesty Dipping Sauce Keto?

The zesty dipping sauce you get from fast food restaurants or the kind served with blooming onions at a steak house has added sugar from some of the ingredients which causes the carb count to be higher than when you make it yourself.

This Keto Zesty Dipping Sauce is made with all clean ingredients and only has 1 gram of carbs per serving, making it the perfect sauce for Keto or low carb diets.

How can I make this Keto Dipping Sauce without mayonnaise or dairy-free?

You can use your favorite dairy-free avocado oil-based mayo or dairy-free sour cream instead.

Can store bought Keto mayo replace homemade?

Sure, if you are short on time or just don’t feel like making your own mayonnaise, your favorite Keto friendly mayo at the grocery store will work just fine. Just be sure to check the label for added preservatives or unhealthy additives.

Can I make this zesty dipping sauce into more of a Key Fry Sauce?

Definitely! Simply swap out the fresh lemon juice for dill pickle juice and just omit the horseradish sauce and you’re all set!
