This is completely optional.

Anchovies – you may omit these but they really do add the authentic Caesar salty taste to the salad.

Dressing – as you’ll see below, I take the standard keto Caesar dressing and make it my own! Now the sauce will start to thicken a little at a time.Once you have a base, start to wiggle the hand blender a little so that it starts to draw down the rest of the oil.

  • After a while of wiggling, you can start lifting the hand blender up and down until all the oil has been mixed in and you have a creamy and fine caesar dressing.

  • Add some tamari soy sauce and season to taste with fine grain salt and black pepper.

  • If you want your caesar dressing a little looser, you can mix in a few tablespoons of water, but basically it should be a fairly thick dressing.

    Without a doubt, a keto caesar salad is the best keto meal to order at any restaurant, but do you know how easy it is to make it at home?

    All you need is a few simple ingredients together for a quick lunch or simple dinner PLUS learn how to make the magic 1-minute homemade Caesar salad dressing.

    It’s quick, easy, filling, packed with protein, and nutritious.

    That's just over 33 grams of fat per serving. Anything goes.

    I prefer to layer it on the plate and leave the dressing on the table so everyone can add the quantity they prefer.

    There are many opinions on what exactly should go into a classic Caesar salad, but in reality, you can add what you like. You can serve sliced chicken or cubed, whichever is easier.

    Chicken breast – grilled chicken is perfect in this recipe and adds to the protein.

  • Divide the romaine lettuce and spinach evenly between 4 salad bowls. It doesn't take many minutes to whip up the dressing. If you like your Caesar with a little more parm and a little less lemon juice, you can alter it to suit your tastes.

    The beauty in making your own food…

      I’ve found arugula to add a nice peppery bite, but also enjoy baby kale. Dressings often have added sugar. To make this keto Caesar dressing you’ll need homemade mayo and anchovies.

      Instructions

      To make a Caesar salad you can either layer ingredients in your serving dish and add the dressing at the end, or you can make it in a large bowl, add the dressing and mix gently with your hands to ensure all the salad is coated with your homemade mayonnaise.

      They are able to choose whichever ingredients they like from the fridge and add them to their salad. And mushrooms, but that’s another story for another day.

      Clean Ingredient Caesar Dressing

      What I’m not really fine with at all is preservatives and artificial anything in my food.

      It is my healthy family ‘fast food’ and cheaper than takeaways. You'll notice right away that all the ingredients contribute to the great taste, so don't skip any.

      Simple dressing without additives

      There are many delicious salad dressings to choose from. This delicious homemade dressing will help you hit your macros.

      In general, the Caesar salad also has a good nutritional profile, just remember to skip the croutons or choose a LCHF-friendly bread alternative.


      (Nutrient values from Kostbevakningen)

      The dressing contains 25 grams of protein and 5 grams of carbohydrates. However, Caesar dressing is a special dressing because it is created for a specific salad.

      With a homemade dressing, you know exactly what you're getting.

      With my recipe, there are no artificial flavors, dyes or e-numbers.

      Tomato – optional, but traditional salads always need the colour and flavour of a few cherry tomatoes.

      Keto salad FAQ

      Is restaurant Caesar salad keto?

      Most traditional Caesar salads are not keto but with a few simple changes, you can lower the carbs and increase the protein.

      In a mixing bowl, add the chicken breasts, avocado oil, salt, and pepper. Simply ask for no croutons, extra cheese, extra chicken, and often a poached egg is available as a salad optional extra.
