Homemade low carb, keto friendly salad dressing, gluten free, sugar free, and also diabetic friendly!
Keto / low carb
I confess that I do not like salads very much and I have never been one of the women who filled a bowl with greens, considering this with satisfaction as a delicious meal.
For me, for a salad to be good, it has to have something special.
It must be a wonderful mix of flavors and textures with a very good dressing.
I love vegetables but sometimes they taste boring.
With a good salad dressing can become exciting even for those who are not fans of the genre.
The ketogenic diet requires the consumption of vegetables as a side dish (especially green leafy vegetables that contain the least carbohydrates) and this dressing will definitely make those taste amazing!
Depending on the optional ingredients you choose, you will have the corresponding flavor that suits the vegetables or the salad of your choice.
