Keto Friendly Balsamic Vinaigrette
Enjoy this keto friendly balsamic vinaigrette on your favorite salads, cuts of meat, or even as a dip to add some tanginess to your favorite savory snack.
I love the tart, fruity flavor associated with balsamic vinegar; although, with 3 carbs per tablespoon, the carbs can add up fast. In addition, creating a balsamic vinegar reduction increases the carbs even more per tablespoon. A basic balsamic vinaigrette, however, can remedy the extra carb problem without sacrificing flavor. With a 3 to 1 ratio of olive oil to vinegar the carb count goes down, in essence making this a perfect choice for a keto diet.

Keto Friendly Balsamic Vinaigrette
A flavorful vinaigrette allowing you to cut down on the carbs and boost your fat intake, all while enjoying the tastes of balsamic vinegar on your favorite dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp minced garlic
Instructions
-
Add all ingredients to a mason jar and shake vigorously until it creates an emulsion.
Recipe Notes
- The longer this vinaigrette sits, the more the flavors will meld. Adjust ingredient amounts as necessary for your tastes, although I don't recommend changing the oil to vinegar ratio.
- This recipe is for a temporary emulsion. If you want to temporarily extend the time of the emulsion you can add a bit of dijon mustard to the recipe, however this will alter the flavor and nutritional values of the final product. It will still separate after a short period of time.
- When the vinaigrette separates you can create the emulsion again. Just shake the jar or container vigorously once more.
- Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
