Keto Caesar Dressing

Bowl full of low carb Caesar salad topped with homemade dressing, keto croutons, and Parmesan.

Creamy keto Caesar dressing made with mayo, Parmesan, lemon, garlic, and anchovy paste. No raw eggs, 1 net carb per serving, and ready in 5 minutes. I like to serve this over chopped romaine with shaved Parm and some homemade keto croutons.

Ingredients

1 ¼ cup mayonnaise
½ cup grated Parmesan see notes
2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 teaspoon anchovy paste see notes
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

Add the mayonnaise, Parmesan, lemon juice, olive oil, dijon, anchovy paste, and Worcestershire sauce to a small bowl.
Mince the garlic and then sprinkle with a bit of the salt. Use the back of your knife to press the garlic into a paste.
Add the garlic to the mayonnaise mixture along with the rest of the salt and the pepper.
Whisk the dressing together to combine. Add a bit of water to thin the dressing, if desired. Taste and adjust seasoning to suit your preferences.
Serve immediately or store in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

We prefer to use freshly grated Parmesan or the kind from the cheese counter - not the kind in the green can.

You can find anchovy paste in a tube near the canned tuna. If you leave this out, you’ll be missing a lot of flavor but can add in extra Worcestershire + salt to make up for it.

To make a classic Caesar salad, toss romaine, shredded or shaved Parmesan, and keto croutons with this dressing. To make keto croutons, chop a few slices of store-bought or homemade keto bread, toss with melted butter, and season with garlic salt and onion. Toast in a hot pan over medium heat until golden and crispy.
