Poppy Seed Salad Dressing: Cuisine HELP

By Lisa Aase • June 12, 2023

This keto salad dressing is perfect for a summer salad!

There is nothing like a fresh salad on a summer day. Many store bought dressings are full of sugar and unhealthy oils, and the healthier choices are often very expensive.

I recently adapted this poppy seed salad dressing recipe to be keto-friendly and it's been a game changer for Lee and I. We've been enjoying pairing it with spinach, grilled chicken, red onion, feta cheese, strawberries, blueberries, toasted nuts, and avocado.

How I Make It

I start with our homemade mayo recipe for the base. You could also use store bought mayo with similar results, but watch out for and try to avoid inflammatory oils such as soybean and canola oil.

If you are using a sweetener that is similar sweetness to sugar use the amount listed below. If using one like Pyure that is sweeter than sugar, start with half the listed amount.

You can substitute 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk or half and half for the cream and water in the recipe. Just use what you have.

Ingredients

1/3 cup mayo
1/3 cup sweetener (I've used Splenda Magic Baker or In The Raw with success)
2 TBLS heavy cream
2 TBLS water
1 TBLS poppyseeds
3 TBLS red wine vinegar

Step-By-Step Instructions

I usually mix all the ingredients in a pint sized mason jar with a lid and shake. You will want to make sure to shake it up again before pouring onto your salad. The dressing can keep in the refrigerator for about a week. Enjoy!
