Keto Easy Caesar Dressing

6 ratings

An easy Keto Caesar dressing that will become a new go-to to dress your favorite greens. Fresh egg yolk and dijon mustard are combined with freshly squeezed lemon juice and then whipped into a rich emulsion using healthy avocado oil. The final dressing is seasoned with parmesan cheese, and then it is ready to go on any low carb, paleo, or Keto salad.

Why do I need to use raw egg yolk?

A raw egg yolk adds richness and flavor to the final dish and also creates the base (emulsion) for the dressing to thicken. If raw egg yolks are not for you, you can cook the yolk by using the yolk from a hard-boiled egg and place all the ingredients into a blender instead of whisking it.

Do I need to add the anchovy paste?

Yes! The anchovy paste adds the distinct, classic flavor to caesar dressing. You will not be able to tell there is fish in the dressing. However, the anchovy paste adds a briny flavor that cannot be missed.

Can I use any other oils?

Yes, olive oil would make an excellent substitution for the avocado oil. The beautiful thing about the avocado oil is that it is neutral in flavor, but if you like the taste of olive oil, it would be delightful as well.

Serving suggestions

To make a classic caesar salad, dress up thickly sliced romaine lettuce and then top the final salad with a nice amount of freshly cracked black pepper. Feel free to add proteins like grilled, sliced chicken breast or shrimp to make it a complete meal. The fats in the salad dressing will help to keep you satiated.

Recipe Steps

5 min

  • Step 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the yolk, mustard and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Whisk together briefly.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Add grated garlic clove and the anchovy paste and mix well. The anchovy paste will still be lumpy and that is fine.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Drizzle the oil in very slowly and whisk quickly to begin emulsifying the dressing. You will know it is starting to emulsify when it is starting to thicken and you cannot see individual drops of oil. Keep whisking until all the oil is poured into the yolk mixture. Add the salt and taste the dressing.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Add the cheese and whisk well. Serve cold over your favorite salad greens.

    I was skeptical since I’ve been using another recipe for years, but this Keto version is amazing. I omitted the salt , blended all but the avocado oil in my mini blender then drizzled in the oil. Can’t wait to serve this to my guest at tomorrow’s lunch!
