Ingredients in Keto Russian Dressing
Ingredients Notes
- Mayonnaise: to get a super creamy Russian dressing, I prefer using homemade mayo. In a pinch, you can also use Primal Kitchen mayo. Code PEACE for 10% off
- Ketchup: to keep this keto, you'll want to use a reduced sugar or sugar free ketchup. I like Primal Kitchen ketchup because they use minimal ingredients with no sweetener.
- Worcestershire sauce: this adds a nice kick to the dressing and really deepens the flavor. You can also use soy sauce or coconut aminos.
- Dijon mustard: the tanginess in Dijon mustard gives Russian dressing its classic flavor. You can also use spicy brown mustard, stone ground mustard, or even sweet hot mustard based on your flavor preferences.
Step by Step Instructions
How to Make Keto Russian Dressing
STEP 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, chives and dill.
STEP 2: Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Recipe Tips and Variations
- Serving suggestions: Russian dressing is an essential element for Reuben themed recipes like these Reuben Stuffed Mushrooms, or these Reuben Stuffed Sweet Potatoes. It also makes an excellent dipping sauce for appetizers like Sausage Balls or Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms. It even goes great with seafood - especially these Cajun Trinity Crab Cakes and Shrimp Cakes.
- Storage: store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Make it Whole 30: use this paleo avocado oil mayo as a base and Primal Kitchen ketchup and Dijon mustard to keep it Whole30.
- Sub dried herbs: to make this Keto Russian Dressing with dried herbs, simply reduce the amount of fresh herbs by ⅔. For example, if a recipe called for one tablespoon of fresh herbs, you would use one teaspoon of dried herbs.
- Make your own mayo: the mayo gives this dressing a creamy, silky texture. Homemade mayo makes it taste even better! If you've never made your own mayo, I have a foolproof mayo recipe that couldn't be any simpler.
- Spice it up: adding a tablespoon or two of sriracha to this recipe really takes it to the next level, and adds the perfect amount of kick.
Frequently Asked Questions
Surprisingly, Russian dressing is not Russian at all. It's very similar to Thousand Island Dressing, but without the sweetness or textural element from pickles.
No! Catalina dressing is more tomato-based and is made with olive oil and vinegar. They have completely different flavor profiles and Russian dressing is a lot creamier than Catalina dressing.

This is the most amazing flavoursome sauce I have ever had.
I used sugar free keto ketchup (tomato sauce, where I come from). I also used your Mayo recipe.
it is so versatile, had it with my glazed ham for Christmas, now going to serve as a dipping sauce for chicken wings at NYE party tonight.

Delicious!
Patti says
Can you add diced pickles without changing the taste profile too much?
Kyndra Holley says
Yes, it will taste very similar to 1000 island dressing
Julia Stearns @ Healthirony says
That keto russian dressing absolutely something new for me! Looks yummy! Thx for sharing the recipe, I definitely add it to my cookbook!
Rose says
This dressing is so out of this world we were eating by the spoonful! I only had dried herbs available so I used 1 teaspoon of each and it came out perfect. Next time I will get the fresh herbs and I can't imagine it being any better. I used G. Hughes Sugar Free Ketchup and it's not very sweet so I added a little swerve confectioners, but that's just me. It is still great without it I just have a sweet tooth which is how I got to Keto in the first place. I made it to go with your crab cake recipe. Served to out of town guests and everyone raved. Thank you so much for this recipe and the crab cakes are also 5 Star!

Hi I was wondering if I used sugar free ketchup, instead of reduced sugar, should I add sweetener?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
No. It will be fine. Most sugar-free ketchups are sweetener with either artificial or natural sweetener alternatives.
Amy says
Hi Kyndra, I LOVE your blog and Instagram! Can you tell me about how long would you say does this dressing keep in the fridge? Thanks!!
