Primal Kitchen Dressings are Rich with Avocado Oil, Not Dairy or Sugar

As we head toward salad season, I want to offer more dairy-free dressing options in our product listings, starting with a healthy one. Primal Kitchen Dressings and Vinaigrettes are dairy-free – yes, all 15 varieties! They’re also paleo-friendly, keto-approved, and either sugar-free or very low sugar. They’re made with a base of avocado oil and eggs (except for the vegan ranch), and seasoned with organic vinegars, herbs, and spices.

Primal Kitchen Dressings are Dairy-Free, Keto & Rich with Avocado Oil

I’ve listed ingredients and nutrition facts for the Primal Kitchen Dressings, which are on the creamier side. Their vinaigrette products are naturally dairy-free and vegan (though some contain a little honey), and also made with avocado oil. They come in Balsamic, Greek, Honey Mustard, Italian, Sesame Ginger, Lemon Turmeric, and Avocado Oil & Vinegar.

Both the dressing and vinaigrette lines work well as marinades. Primal Kitchen Dressings are rich, but they aren’t very thick, so each variety is suitable for topping, cooking, and even coating vegetables for roasting or grilling. We’ve even used them for quick dinner stir fries!

Full Flavor and Perfectly Rich

Rated 5 out of 5

June 4, 2020

These dressings are very different from other brands, but they’re quite good. For example, the Thousand Island is very savory, not very sweet. But somehow, they make the flavors quite bold and interesting. We’ve also tried the BBQ Ranch which has a nice kick to it! They aren’t as creamy as classic creamy dressings, but they do taste rich and satisfying.
