There’s something undeniably satisfying about crafting your own salad dressings, especially when they’re as rich and versatile as this Low Carb Keto Thousand Island Dressing. For years, I relied on store-bought options, assuming they were my only choice.

But once I started making this homemade version, I realized what I’d been missing—pure, customizable perfection with none of the hidden sugars or carbs. This recipe transforms a classic into a keto-friendly staple, marrying creamy mayonnaise, tangy vinegar, and a touch of sweetness from a keto-approved alternative.

A pinch of smoked paprika elevates the flavor, making it ideal for salads, burger bowls, or even as a dip for veggies. Whether you’re managing macros or just looking for something fresh and satisfying, this dressing fits seamlessly into a low-carb lifestyle.

Here’s the best part: homemade dressings can have up to 70% fewer added sugars than commercial ones, giving you control over what you’re eating. Plus, they taste so much better—no strange preservatives, just pure flavor.

This recipe has quickly become a favorite in my household, and I know it’ll find a spot in yours, too. If you’re already a fan of Tuna Salad or Low Carb Keto Coleslaw transform them into a tastier version with this dressing.
