Keto Blackberry Balsamic Vinaigrette

No store-bought salad dressing comes close to this homemade blackberry balsamic vinaigrette. The sweet and tangy flavors of the berries pair beautifully with the richness of the balsamic. The mustard thickens and helps emulsify the sauce, the lemon juice brings in more freshness, and the olive oil mellows everything. This dressing is delicious with many salads, cooked proteins, or as a marinade.

Are blackberries good for a Keto diet?

Blackberries are one of the best fruits to consume on a Keto diet because of their low-carb and high-fiber content. They’re also a great source of potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin K. This low-carb fruit is excellent for snacking or sweet and savory Keto blackberry recipes.

Should you use fresh or frozen blackberries?

Since the blackberries in this recipe will be cooked and blended, it doesn’t make a difference whether you use fresh or frozen. Frozen blackberries tend to be the most flavorful since they are stored at their peak season. If using fresh, ensure they’re at their best time of the year to get maximum flavor.

What about the blackberry seeds?

Blackberry seeds are edible and shouldn’t be a problem in this sauce. If you dislike their texture, you can pass the vinaigrette through a fine sieve after blending it.

How to serve this Keto blackberry vinaigrette?

Use this vinaigrette with the salad of your choice, but we suggest serving it with an arugula salad as the flavors go well together. You can also use it as a dip for your low-carb veggies or a sauce for grilled chicken.
