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.

Protein

Instead of grilled chicken, feel free to add another source of protein. You can also prepare it well in advance and keep it in the fridge.

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. If you are struggling to get kids to eat their greens, give this keto Caesar salad a try! 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.

Process on high until the garlic is minced down and the mixture is smooth. The beauty in making your own food…

  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 4 Tbsp Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Caesar Dressing

    This delicious keto chicken salad can be served as a main meal or as a side dish for pork, beef, or chicken.

    Is Caesar salad keto?

    A traditional Caesar salad is not keto because it contains croutons made from wheat bread or gluten-free bread.

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

    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.

    Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan on the lettuce, and top with slices of chicken breast. You can serve sliced chicken or cubed, whichever is easier. It doesn't take many minutes to whip up the dressing. That's just over 33 grams of fat per serving.

Notes

  • If you prefer more crunch to your Caesar salad (like croutons), we love using Parmesan crackers (like Whisps).

Add in the cheese and pulse until it is incorporated but not completely smooth.

I’m not picky about much, except fishy things. Remove from skillet and let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. Much of the flavor comes from garlic, parmesan, French mustard and tamari soy sauce.
