Is mayo keto?

Mayonnaise can indeed be a keto-friendly condiment as it’s typically low in carbohydrates.

However, it’s crucial to check the ingredients list, as some commercial brands may contain added sugars or other high-carb ingredients. Look for mayonnaise made with healthy fats like avocado oil or olive oil and no added sugars to ensure it aligns with your keto lifestyle.

Homemade mayo can also be a great option, allowing you to control the ingredients and keep it keto-friendly.

Variations

If you want to add your own touch to this low carb salad dressing, you can experiment with the following suggestions:

Substitute oat milk with almond milk. Almond milk is a great dairy-free alternative and has a subtle nutty flavor that can complement your dressing well.

Add a squirt of fresh lemon juice to give it a little tang. The sourness of the lemon juice can balance the creaminess of the dressing and make it more enjoyable.

Instead of using sour cream, you can opt for heavy cream. Heavy cream is thicker and richer, and can add a luxurious texture to your dressing.

How to store Keto Ranch Dressing

To store Keto Ranch Dressing, transfer it to an airtight container such as a glass jar or a plastic container with a tight-sealing lid.

Make sure to refrigerate the dressing promptly after preparing it to maintain its freshness and prevent bacterial growth.

Stored properly, Keto Ranch Dressing can last in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks. Before each use, give the dressing a good stir or shake to recombine any separated ingredients and enjoy its creamy goodness whenever you need it.
