    What you'll need to make the best keto salad dressing

    EQUIPMENT

    • Whisk - Alternately, you could pulse this salad dressing in a blender or food processor, but it is such a small amount of dressing that you will lose a lot in the actual machine. You may need to double or trip the recipe if you want to use a blender to make it.

    DRESSING INGREDIENTS

    ingredients to make the best keto salad dressing - creamy lemon dressingPin

    See printable recipe card at the bottom of the page for all measurements.

    • Mayonnaise - I use light mayo, but you can use full fat if you prefer.
    • Freshly squeezed lemon juice - There is no substitute for fresh lemon juice. If you can't get a lemon, don't bother making the dressing.
    • Lemon zest - This is optional but adds an extra lemony flavor to the dressing.
    • Olive oil - This gives the dressing its pourable consistency.
    • Dijon mustard - This gives the dressing a spicy undertone. If you prefer, you can use spicy brown or even horseradish mustard in place of Dijon.
    • Garlic powder - I love fresh garlic, but in this recipe, it sort of overpowers the other flavors. Stick to garlic powder and only use a little bit.
    • Salt
    • Black pepper

    How to make creamy lemon salad dressing

    1. Prepare dressing as early as possible so that flavors can blend ahead of time in the refrigerator.

    3. Zest half of the lemon and add to the mayo.
