Let’s talk about the ingredients in this dressing!
We start with fresh cilantro. Cilantro is an herb that I love to add to many dips and sauces to bring incredible flavor and color. Next, we add sour cream to help give our dressing its creaminess. I used fresh lime juice because it gives this dressing the perfect tang. If you’d like, you can use bottled lime juice. A little garlic is all that is needed to give this dressing a nice garlicy flavor. We then add keto sugar for a touch of sweetness. I prefer the Swerve brand, but you can use any keto granulated sugar. For our seasonings, we combine salt, smoked paprika, cumin, and pepper. Last, we add some olive oil to finish off this awesome dressing!
How do I make this keto cilantro lime dressing?
This is an incredibly quick and easy recipe. I used a stand blender to make my dressing, but you could also use a food processor or an immersion blender. You simply toss all your ingredients, except for the olive oil, into the blender. I used only the leaves from the cilantro, but you can add some of the stems if you’d like. I used a spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender halfway through blending so everything would get perfectly combined. Add the olive oil last and blend just until it gets mixed into the dressing. This dressing can be served right away. If you’d like even more of a kick to your dressing, you could add some jalapenos or red pepper flakes to yours.
How can I serve this keto cilantro lime dressing?
This is a versatile dressing that goes well with many dishes. It is a great salad dressing for your favorite lettuce or spinach salads. You could use this as a fun dip for raw vegetables. It can also be used as a sauce. You can top your favorite keto tacos with this dressing or even add some to your cauliflower rice. This dressing pairs well with cooked vegetables and meats. It especially works well with chicken, fish, and seafood dishes. Just drizzle a little dressing over your vegetables or meats right before serving or serve on the side so everyone can add their own.
