How to make keto Caesar salad family-friendly.

Because you add whatever salad ingredients, cheese, or protein you have in the fridge (you know I always encourage you that leftovers are king), then pour over the top plenty of homemade mayo.

Children always love a fun meal that they can make themselves and have some control over.

Parmigiano Reggiano is aged longer than parmesan cheese and can add a deeper flavour. What do you add to make them high-protein, nutritious, and filling?

Keto Caesar Dressing Recipe

I remember the day I found out that Caesar salad dressing had anchovies in it {insert sick emoji face here!!}.

That's just over 33 grams of fat per serving. I will use mixed greens if that’s what I have available too. Dressings often have added sugar. Once you add the anchovies and mayo, you won’t be able to keep it in the fridge for long.

Common Caesar salad ingredients are lettuce, croutons, garlic, Dijon mustard, black pepper, Worcester sauce, anchovies, eggs, and parmesan cheese.

But with a few simple changes, you can lower the carbs and increase the protein to make it perfect for the high-protein low-carb diet, low-carb diet or keto diet.

Ingredients

A keto caesar salad is easy to throw together and typically consists of just a few basic ingredients.

All you need is a good hand blender that you run at full speed. If you like your Caesar with a little more parm and a little less lemon juice, you can alter it to suit your tastes. Now add your choice of protein.

Add your favourite cheese, for me it has to be blue cheese and parmesan. I cannot emphasise enough how incredibly easy and nutritious it is to make your own mayonnaise.

Substitutions & variations

One thing that’s fun about a keto Caesar salad is that you don’t have to stick with the standard ingredients.

Stir to evenly coat. Much of the flavor comes from garlic, parmesan, French mustard and tamari soy sauce.

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

Instructions

Caesar Dressing

  1. Add all dressing ingredients (except Parmesan cheese) to the bowl of a food process or in a blender.

    It doesn't take many minutes to whip up the dressing. You can also use leftover chicken making this easy salad perfect for your keto diet.

    Parmesan cheese – whether you like shredded parmesan cheese, grated parmesan cheese, or sliced, the flavour is excellent with this recipe!

    Blue cheese – to amp up fat and flavour, I add a sharp blue cheese.

    Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan on the lettuce, and top with slices of chicken breast.

    Once you wash lettuce or other leafy greens, you can keep them in a large ziplock bag or container with a piece of kitchen paper. The nutritional profile of the whole meal depends on how much chicken and other ingredients you have in your salad.
