The other day I remembered a random thing I used to eat as a teenager. I would chop up celery and eat it creamy French dressing. Not the dark red Catalina French, but the lighter creamy one.

That got me to thinking that I could make my own and make it low carb. So today I have for you my keto creamy French dressing. It’s so good! It’s creamy and thick with the perfect blend of sweet and tangy flavor.

You only need a few simple ingredients and spices and you can make this dressing in just 5 minutes! And best of all it only has 0.6g net carbs per tablespoon.

If you are looking for the Pittsburgh Cobb salad.

This is a very old post that I decided to redo. Originally I had made a Pittsburgh Cobb salad which was much like a regular Pittsburgh steak salad but in the form of a Cobb salad. You can see that pictured below.

I decided to make the salad more of a traditional Pittsburgh steak salad with the air fryer. And as a separate post coming soon. I’ll link it here when I’m finished.

In case you came here looking for a Pittsburgh Cobb salad this is what I used.

• Romaine lettuce chopped
• 1 hard boiled egg sliced
• 1 cup cucumber chopped
• ¼ red onion sliced
• ¼ cup cheddar cheese shredded
• 4 oz cooked steak cubed
• 1 medium potato made into fries

Now I call this a cobb salad but I’m not sure it’s technically a cobb. Any kind of salad that has the ingredients neatly placed in rows is a cobb to me like my Taco Cobb Salad.

Keto creamy French dressing ingredients.

All I used for this homemade dressing is: mayonnaise, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, onion, paprika, sweetener, dry mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Some people like to use ketchup instead of tomato paste but that tends to have more carbs than tomato paste. However if you have a low carb ketchup that might work. But if you can stick with the tomato paste.

How to whip up this keto salad dressing in 5 minutes.

1. Add the onion to a food processor or high speed blender and pulse until finely minced.
2. Next add in the rest of the ingredients and blend until it’s nice and creamy.
3. Pour into a medium bowl or mason jar and serve with your favorite salad.
4. Just make sure to store in an airtight container. It should keep for at least a week in the refrigerator. (Please scroll down for the printable recipe card.)

One note on the dressing: I made it sugar free by using a keto friendly sweetener like Swerve. I know most people don’t care about that so use white sugar if you prefer.
