A keto/LCHF salad dressing that's similar to the Olive Garden dressing and takes just minutes to whip up. Gluten-free and dairy free, too. Ingredients do not need refrigeration.
Add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Allulose. Mix thoroughly.
Add vinegar slowly, starting with about 1 teaspoon, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Adding it slowly keeps the dressing very smooth.
Any unused portion must be refrigerated.
Notes
Duke's mayonnaise contains no sugar or sugar substitutes, unlike every other commercial mayonnaise I know of. I buy it in the squeeze bottle; as long as it's not contaminated (never touch the tip of the bottle to anything) you can store it without refrigeration. It also comes in more economical jars; these are great if you do have refrigeration space for the jar.Some diabetics are sensitive to garlic, in which case you should omit it.Allulose is a sugar substitute that has zero carbs and zero effect on blood sugar. Many popular sugar substitutes (such as Splenda) do have an effect on blood sugar; don't use them. I think Allulose has a much better flavor than Swerve or erythritol. I've written more about Allulose here.Variation: You can add up to 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese such as Parmesan or Romano. Commercially shredded versions have starch added to keep the shreds from clumping; if you are diabetic, you're much better off to buy a small block and cheese and grate your own.No Dietary Restrictions: If you don't have dietary restrictions, you can use the same basic recipe with regular mayo, up to a teaspoon of garlic, sugar instead of Allulose and go ahead with the shredded cheese. If you don't use shredded cheese, it's still a great no-refrigeration recipe.
