Elevating Your Salad Game

Ingredients That Inspire
Let’s dive into the key ingredients that make our keto Caesar dressing irresistible:
- Mayonnaise: Creamy and indulgent, mayonnaise serves as the foundation of our dressing. Feel free to use your favorite brand—we’re partial to Kraft.
- Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds brightness and enhances the flavors of this keto Caesar dressing.
- Olive Oil: Besides adding flavor, olive oil helps emulsify the other ingredients, creating a harmonious blend.
- Dijon Mustard: With its tangy and robust flavor, Dijon mustard balances the intense savoriness of the anchovy paste and other ingredients.
- Worcestershire Sauce: This versatile sauce contributes a delightful umami taste to any dish. Just be mindful of the sugar content in some brands.
- Anchovy Paste: While it may be an acquired taste, anchovy paste delivers a depth of savory flavor that is essential for authentic Caesar dressing. If you’re not a fan, don’t worry—extra Worcestershire sauce can be used as a substitute. Look for tubes of anchovy paste near the canned tuna section in your local grocery store.
- Parmesan: For the best results, we highly recommend using freshly grated Parmesan or getting it from the cheese counter. The green crumbly kind from a can simply won’t do justice to this homemade dressing.
- Garlic: To enhance the flavor profile, we use two cloves of garlic in this recipe. However, you can adjust the amount to suit your personal preference.
