Begin by zesting one large lime using a microplane or fine grater, ensuring only to include the green part of the skin and avoid the bitter white pith beneath.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, and lime zest for a fresh and tangy base.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove, adding it to the bowl for a pungent kick.
Add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the bowl. This will act as an emulsifier to help blend the oil and lime juice.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of erythritol. Adjust for sweetness if desired, keeping in mind erythritol is a keto-friendly sweetener.
Season the vinaigrette with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, enhancing the overall flavor.
Whisk all the ingredients together vigorously until the dressing is emulsified, creating a smooth and well-mixed vinaigrette.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, considering personal preference for acidity or sweetness.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for storage.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
