How to Make Keto Dressings

Many store-bought dressings include added sweeteners and preservatives that may not be Keto compliant. Making your own homemade dressings is a great way to ensure you are staying on track with your diet and macros. Dressings are also a great option for bulk prepping for your meals throughout the week. The perfect Keto dressing needs to have a good balance of fats and acidity. For our Keto Thousand Island dressing, we have used a base of creamy mayonnaise blended with olive oil for extra fats, passata (tomato sauce), and acidity from lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. Mustard and smoked paprika have been added for that all-important tangy Thousand Island flavor.

How to Store Keto Thousand Island Dressing

This Keto take on Thousand Island dressing should keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days. Be sure to store in an airtight container or jar to keep fresh. Making this ahead is a great idea for meal prepping as it can be enjoyed with a variety of Keto meals throughout the week. Why not try with our Keto Big Mac salad, as a burger relish or simply enjoy as a dip for low carb vegetables?

1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon mustard
½ tablespoon gourmet collection smoked paprika by mccormick
½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon salt, sea salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Add the extra virgin olive oil to the mixing bowl. Add the passata (tomato sauce), mustard, lemon juice, paprika, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well combined. You may use more or less mustard according to personal tastes. Be sure to adjust your macros for any changes.
Add the mayonnaise to the mixing bowl. Whisk the mayonnaise into the sauce base until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired by adding more acidity, paprika, salt or mustard. If you wish to have a thinner dressing you may add a little water to reach your desired consistency.
