Drizzle with desired amount of Caesar dressing and eat immediately.
I will use mixed greens if that’s what I have available too. Process on high until the garlic is minced down and the mixture is smooth. You can serve sliced chicken or cubed, whichever is easier. I’m not picky about much, except fishy things. I’ve found arugula to add a nice peppery bite, but also enjoy baby kale.
As you’ll see below, you can omit or swap many of these to create a salad you are happy with:
All ingredients and quantities are in the recipe card below.
Romaine lettuce – high in water, fibre, minerals, and vitamins like C and K, I love the crunch that romaine lettuce offers.
Cucumber – a standard Caesar salad recipe has croutons (made from wheat bread), which is not keto-friendly.
What to serve with Caesar salad

Caesar dressing with tasty ingredients
Caesar dressing is a classic dressing that most people know. 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 can make your own mayonnaise with an egg and olive oil, or you can make a simple keto salad dressing made with olive oil and vinegar.

Chicken to use – you may use grilled chicken, leftover roast chicken, or a hot rotisserie chicken picked up on your way home from the supermarket.To lower the carbs, you can reduce or omit the tomatoes, spring onion, garlic, or cucumber.To add more protein, add poached eggs, boiled eggs, cooked shrimps, cooked prawns, or cooked bacon.

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.
This will quickly and easily produce a dressing that is smooth, fine and well mixed.
Nutritional values of my caesar dressing
Caesar dressing has a good nutritional value. In a mixing bowl, add the chicken breasts, avocado oil, salt, and pepper. To replicate that crunch, cucumbers will do nicely. Now add your choice of protein.
Add your favourite cheese, for me it has to be blue cheese and parmesan.
If you like your Caesar with a little more parm and a little less lemon juice, you can alter it to suit your tastes.
What salad dressings are OK for keto?
Ready-made dressings often contain unhealthy oils such as canola oil or sunflower oil and often contain added sugars and starches that don’t fir in with your keto diet.
All you need is a good hand blender that you run at full speed. Why not add cooked diced bacon and avocado too?
How many net carbs are in a Caesar?
How many carbs are in a Caesar salad will depend on what ingredients have been used, how many croutons have been added, and whether it is served with bread on the side?
