We love this incredibly delicious easy Italian dressing pork loin! Sometimes easy and simple really is best and this roast exemplifies that. We marinate our pork loin in Italian dressing, then roast it with the marinade. You can marinate for 1-2 hours or overnight, so you can easily fit this into what works best for your schedule. This is a great main dish to add to your recipe rotation.

Let’s talk about our Italian dressing!

I love making homemade condiments, dips, dressings, and sauces. When you make your own, you can play with ingredients to get the exact flavor profile you want. You will also know exactly what goes into them and can avoid unwanted ingredients. I have a go-to homemade keto Italian dressing that is quick and easy to make, and it is also delicious. My dressing combines olive oil, white wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard with a combination of herbs and spices, a little keto granulated sugar, and fresh grated Parmesan cheese. For your marinade, you can also substitute with any keto Italian dressing you’d like. You’ll want to check the ingredients to make sure there are no added ingredients you don’t want in your dressing. We marinate our pork loin in 3 cups of dressing, then when ready to bake, simply pour all of the marinade over the roast.

How do I make this easy Italian dressing pork loin?

This is an awesomely easy dish to make, but there are some things you can do to ensure yours comes out perfectly every time. First, you’ll want to make sure you’re using pork loin and not pork tenderloin for this dish. Pork loin is a larger cut of pork that is wider and flatter than pork tenderloin. It also has a nice thick cap of fat on its top which pork tenderloin doesn’t have. Next, you can marinate your pork loin for 1-2 hours or overnight. I like to marinate mine in a large plastic container and flip it a couple of times while it marinates. Alternately, you can marinate in a large resealable plastic bag. For the juiciest possible pork loin, I recommend letting your pork loin set for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Last, you can serve your pork with some of the drippings if you’d like.

What are some keto dishes I can serve with this easy Italian dressing pork loin?

You have some great options for serving this pork loin. If you’d like, you can start with a keto salad. I love Caesar salad and that would be a great choice. A keto coleslaw would be a super choice as well. Serving this with a keto soup would also be an excellent choice. You can also serve this pork loin with some keto biscuits, cornbread, or English muffins. Any low carb cooked vegetables would pair nicely with this dish. If you’d like, you could serve this pork loin with mashed cauliflower, mashed kohlrabi, or mashed turnips. You could also serve this with some cauliflower mac and cheese which is one of our favorite dishes!
