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.

You can also prepare it well in advance and keep it in the fridge.

Caesar dressing with tasty ingredients

Caesar dressing is a classic dressing that most people know.

What's more, a homemade dressing tends to taste much better.

The dressing is also incredibly easy to make. Diced cooked bacon pieces, a poached egg, sliced boiled egg, cooked shrimp, cooked prawns, or a low-carb vegetarian source of protein.

Herbs and seasoning

The cheeses and Caesar dressing are both delicious, but you might also want to add garlic powder, dried onion flakes, bagel seasoning,

Storage

Just like any fresh salad, this keto Caesar salad recipe will be best if enjoyed right away.

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. Parmigiano Reggiano is aged longer than parmesan cheese and can add a deeper flavour.

Much of the flavor comes from garlic, parmesan, French mustard and tamari soy sauce. The paper helps to absorb any excess water and helps to keep the lettuce crisp.

Make your mayonnaise and pour it into a jar with a lid.

Lettuce

Swap out the typical romaine lettuce for another variety.

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

Protein

Instead of grilled chicken, feel free to add another source of protein. 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!

The classic anchovies are next, or maybe another oily fish that you prefer such as smoked salmon slices. 

Now serve with, or drizzle over the top, with homemade mayonnaise. You'll notice right away that all the ingredients contribute to the great taste, so don't skip any.

You might think that Caesar dressing is difficult to make, but it's actually really easy. For example, Bertucci’s Caesar salad has 28g carbs (source: Cronometer).

However, this is a high-protein salad with moderate-high fat and low-carbs, so the ingredients will be slightly different. Stir to evenly coat. Process on high until the garlic is minced down and the mixture is smooth. Remove from skillet and let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. Together with fried chicken fillet, , parmesan cheese and romaine lettuce you get a real taste bomb in your mouth.

In a mixing bowl, add the chicken breasts, avocado oil, salt, and pepper. Now add your choice of protein.

Add your favourite cheese, for me it has to be blue cheese and parmesan.

  • Divide the romaine lettuce and spinach evenly between 4 salad bowls.
