There’s nothing like homemade caesar dressing. Absolutely nothing. Not only is it super easy to make, there isn’t anything weird in the ingredient list and the taste is incredible! Bonus? No preservatives or chemicals!

Besides bringing Caesar salad to life, this Keto Caesar Dressing is great in a few other ways. It makes an awesome sandwich/wrap sauce or excellent dip for Keto Chicken Nuggets or Keto Pizza Crust! Try a chicken caesar sandwich on a Low carb Everything Bagel, or a wrap on an Almond Flour Tortilla.

Either way you decide to enjoy this beautiful dressing, I hope you love it as much as we do!

Ingredients

Mayonnaise – Look for a full fat mayonnaise that is made with a high quality fat, such as olive oil or avocado oil.

Parmesan – the best parmesan to use in this Keto Caesar Dressing is freshly grated. I use either Grana Padano or Parmesano Reggiano. They may seem expensive, but you can grate quite a bit of cheese from one block! Plus, there’s nothing like freshly grated parmesan cheese sprinkled over a crisp caesar salad.

How to make Keto Caesar Dressing

It’s so easy! Grab either 1 large or 2 small garlic cloves, then peel and mince them finely. Grate the parmesan cheese, zest the lemon until you have 1/4 tsp lemon zest, and juice the lemon until you have 1 tbsp lemon juice.

I always puree my ingredients together using an immersion blender because it makes the most creamiest of all dressings. So grab the cup of an immersion blender (or a blender, magic bullet or small food processor) and toss in the mayonnaise, minced garlic, grated parmesan, lemon zest, lemon juice, worcestershire, dijon, red wine vinegar, salt and black pepper.

Puree with the immersion blender (or in your blender, magic bullet or small food processor) for a minute or two, until the Keto Caesar Dressing is smooth. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 7 days.

Expert Tips

1. Don’t have an immersion blender? You can use either a blender, magic bullet or small food processor instead. Don’t have either? You can just use a bowl and a whisk. The dressing will still taste delicious, it just won’t be as creamy. Also, you would want to mince the garlic super duper fine, or, better yet, run it through a garlic press.
2. With proper storage this Keto Caesar Dressing will last about 7 days in the refrigerator. It should be sealed for freshness with a tight fitting lid or plastic wrap.

There are actually a bunch of Keto friendly dressings you can make at home. Besides this Keto caesar dressing, my favourites are Ranch, Honey Mustard, Blue Cheese, Cilantro Lime, Greek and Italian.
