Balsamic vinaigrette – a true classic among salad dressings, and rightly so.
Unfortunately, store-bought varieties are usually full of sugar and/or industrial vegetable oils, which makes them a rather unhealthy choice.
This keto balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing without added sugar is not only healthier, but it’s also low carb and even keto-friendly with only 3.8g net carbs per serving – oh, and it tastes just as good, if not better!
Tip: This keto balsamic vinaigrette dressing is the perfect choice for tuna salad.

KETO BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE INGREDIENTS:
This section is where I share a few suggestions and explanations for the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe.
(You can find the exact amounts needed on the recipe card embedded below this section).
Why erythritol?
In my opinion, erythritol is the best keto-friendly sweetener.
– it doesn’t spike your blood sugar,
– it’s completely safe and
– has a very fresh & natural sweet taste.
Because of its natural origin and natural production process (fermentation), I also consider erythritol to be paleo-friendly.
You can use other keto-friendly sweeteners that won’t spike your blood sugar as well, but be aware that you may have to add more or less sweetener if you do so.
Erythritol is about 70% as sweet as sugar whereas other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit and stevia are much sweeter than sugar.
Keep that ratio in mind when using a 1:1 sugar replacement.
HOW TO MAKE THE KETO BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE:
Add all of the ingredients into a small jar and mix well.
Pour the keto balsamic vinaigrette over a salad of your choice.
Tip: The dressing tastes especially good with tuna salad.
If you have already poured the salad dressing over your salad, you should eat it as soon as possible.
However, the salad dressing will keep longer if stored in your refrigerator.
Cover the jar with plastic wrap or pour the dressing in an airtight container and consume within 3-4 days.

Q: How do you include Erythritol in your calculations?
A: The short answer is: I don’t, and I can tell you why.
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol which your body can’t digest.
If you ingest it, it won’t spike your blood sugar & it won’t release insulin (which is a good thing if you want to stay in ketosis).
It passes through our system basically “untouched”.
Because of this, you can subtract the carbs from erythritol completely, which is what I always do.
(I try to be as accurate as possible with this information, but values may vary because of natural occurring fluctuations and different products used.)
