The Best Sweet Keto Salad Dressing

Making My Own Sweet Vinaigrette Dressing

My mom loves making a spinach salad with thinly sliced strawberries on top with a sweet vinaigrette dressing.

I started to use her dressing recipe on my own versions of a Katie salad.

And when I started living a sugar-free lifestyle in 2016, one of the first recipes I converted was that dressing.

I still have to credit the Katie Salad for inspiring me to create new kinds of salads.

I shared 11 of my simple Keto-friendly salad ideas here and then 15 more of my THM-friendly salad ideas here.

That’s practically a month of different salads between the two posts!

Wanna take a guess what dressing I use on just about every salad that includes berries or fruit?

This one that I’m sharing with you right here.

Let’s take a look at how easy it is to make!

Sweet Keto Salad Dressing Ingredients

You only need four ingredients to whip up this healthy, sugar free salad dressing!

• Extra Light Olive Oil
• Apple Cider Vinegar
• Water
• Low Carb Sweetener of your choice

That’s it.

Sometimes I’ll add a little salt and pepper.

Other times I mix in some poppy seeds.

While I usually recommend the rich flavor of extra virgin olive oil, that’s not the best option for this light salad dressing.

This salad dressing is more about highlighting the flavors of the salad ingredients.

So I opt for extra light olive oil instead.

You could also use avocado oil or grapeseed oil.

There are so many different kinds of vinegars available now, but apple cider vinegar is really the best one for this sweet low carb dressing.

It adds a little bit of a fruity flavor.

I prefer using THM Gentle Sweet when I mix up this fast salad dressing.

Why?

Because Gentle Sweet is already powdered which means it dissolves perfectly in the dressing with no grittiness.

If you don’t have that sweetener on hand, or if you prefer using sugar, you can use our Sweetener Conversion Tables to easily figure out the right amount to use.

Simply add all the ingredients to a jar (AnnMarie and I both prefer this Salad Shaker Jar from OXO!), close the top and shake it up!

That’s it.

I usually make a double batch of the recipe because it stores so well.

Just store it at room temperature for up to 2 months.

Now you’re ready to dress all your salads that have fruit on top!
