I’ve found arugula to add a nice peppery bite, but also enjoy baby kale. It also contains 202 grams of fat thanks to the two oils. 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.

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. All you need are all the ingredients and a hand blender.

Tomato – optional, but traditional salads always need the colour and flavour of a few cherry tomatoes.

I’m not picky about much, except fishy things. 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.

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.

In general, the Caesar salad also has a good nutritional profile, just remember to skip the croutons or choose a LCHF-friendly bread alternative.

    Why not add cooked diced bacon and avocado too? To replicate that crunch, cucumbers will do nicely. However, Caesar dressing is a special dressing because it is created for a specific salad.

    With a homemade dressing, you know exactly what you're getting. Stir to evenly coat.
