Salads make a virtuous lunch or dinner [1], as long as you don't pile them high with unhealthy toppings and drown them in dressing. If you're on the keto diet, that last part is crucial: many store-bought dressings [2] are loaded with sugar, a cardinal sin for the low-carb plan. Fortunately, you don't need a dozen ingredients for a delicious, homemade dressing — the recipes here are surprisingly simple to pull together and perfectly keto-friendly [3]. (Just stick to one serving!)
Dijon Vinaigrette Dressing
Mustard is keto-friendly, and since you probably already have the staple in your pantry, you can easily whip up this recipe on a busy weeknight.

Green Goddess Dressing
While fats are always welcome in keto, avocado and Greek yoghurt replace mayonnaise and sour cream for a decidedly fresher take on this classic dressing.

Lime Vinaigrette Dressing
While it only requires four ingredients (hot sauce is optional), this simple vinaigrette packs a ton of flavour. If you can handle the heat, add more than just a dash of hot sauce.
