Balsamic vinaigrette fits keto in small amounts. Typical dressings (oil + balsamic vinegar) land around ~10g net carbs per 100g—but it's mostly fat and used by the tablespoon, so a realistic ~1.5g per tbsp serving stays low. Measure portions and skip added sugar.

Primal Kitchen Balsamic Vinaigrette & Marinade Salad Dressing, 8 Fluid Ounces
Unlike most bottled balsamic vinaigrettes that hide added sugar or corn syrup, Primal Kitchen's version is officially Keto Certified and made with avocado oil instead of soybean/canola oil, avoiding the sugar spikes that plague typical grocery-store balsamic dressings.

BRIANNAS Avocado Oil Classic Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing, 10 Fluid Ounces
A close cousin to the existing pick - also built on 100% avocado oil instead of soybean or canola - but BRIANNAS leans on authentic Balsamic Vinegar of Modena for a deeper, more traditional flavor and ships in a larger 10 oz bottle than Primal Kitchen's 8 oz, giving keto shoppers a Whole30-compliant option with a different taste profile at a comparable per-ounce cost.
