Caesarsallad dressing lchf

Ingredients

Caesar Dressing

• 2 Tbsp Paleo Lime Mayo
• 2 tsp Dijon Mustard, we prefer Sir Kensington's
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 4 Tbsp Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
• 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Avocado Oil
• 1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan, not shelf stable stuff

Caesar Salad

• 2 Chicken Breasts
• 1 Tbsp Avocado Oil
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
• 1 head Romaine Lettuce, chopped
• 2 cups Baby Spinach
• 1/2 cup or more Shredded Parmesan, not shelf stable stuff

Instructions

Caesar Dressing

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

   Dressings often have added sugar. It is my healthy family ‘fast food’ and cheaper than takeaways. All you need is a good hand blender that you run at full speed. Process on high until the garlic is minced down and the mixture is smooth. 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.

   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.

2. 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.

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

4. 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.

Caesar dressing might be one of my absolute favorites when it comes to salad dressing. In a mixing bowl, add the chicken breasts, avocado oil, salt, and pepper.

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.

I refuse to buy salad dressings at the grocery store because they all have weird ingredients, and for some unknown reason, a surprising number of restaurants add sugar to their salad dressings. It is therefore always worth making your own dressing instead of buying a ready-made one. Together with fried chicken fillet, , parmesan cheese and romaine lettuce you get a real taste bomb in your mouth.

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

The dressing is also incredibly easy to make. I’ve found arugula to add a nice peppery bite, but also enjoy baby kale. However, this is a high-protein salad with moderate-high fat and low-carbs, so the ingredients will be slightly different.

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.

It also contains 202 grams of fat thanks to the two oils. To replicate that crunch, cucumbers will do nicely. Just buy these two things on your way home via the grocery store:

1: A hot rotisserie chicken (without stuffing or sauces).
2: A bag of salad or leafy greens.

When you get home it takes no time at all to put the keto Caesar salad on your kitchen table and throw some extra ingredients together that you have probably sitting in the fridge already such as cheese, olives, avocado, etc.

For example, Bertucci’s Caesar salad has 28g carbs (source: Cronometer).

Lettuce

Swap out the typical romaine lettuce for another variety. 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.

Remove from skillet and let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
