Let’s create a simple, delicious, and creamy dressing that incorporates Xia.

Keto Creamy Chia Dressing

This dressing is not only low in carbs but also adds a healthy twist to your salads. The chia protein creates a lovely texture while contributing valuable nutrients.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Xia 435 (defatted chia protein)
• 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as oregano or basil)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: A pinch of erythritol or a keto-friendly sweetener for a touch of sweetness

Cooking Instructions

1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until well combined.
2. Stir in the Xia 435, dried herbs, salt, and pepper.
3. If desired, add a pinch of sweetener to balance the acidity.
4. Mix well and let the dressing sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the chia to soften and thicken the dressing slightly.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash of water or additional vinegar to reach your desired consistency.

Flavor Profile This dressing has a tangy, zesty flavor from the vinegar and mustard, balanced by the richness of the olive oil. The garlic adds a slight kick, while the Xia contributes a creamy texture without dominating the overall taste.

Keto-Friendly Explanation This dressing fits perfectly within keto principles as it is low in carbohydrates, high in healthy fats from olive oil, and boosted in protein from Xia. It can be drizzled over greens, used as a dip, or incorporated into grain-free salads.
