Description

A true Caesar salad is already pretty close to keto – we just swap out the croutons for crispy bacon pieces and make the dressing from scratch with real anchovies, egg yolk, parmesan, and lemon. The result is deeply savory, creamy, and completely addictive.

  • 2 heads romaine lettuce chopped
  • 6 strips thick-cut bacon
  • 80g parmesan freshly grated + extra for topping
  • 3 anchovy Dressing: fillets
  • 1 garlic clove minced

  • 1 lemon juice of
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • salt and black pepper

Note

For the safest dressing, use a pasteurized egg yolk if serving to pregnant women or the elderly. The dressing can be made 2 days ahead and stored in the fridge – it actually tastes better the next day as the flavors meld. Add grilled chicken breast or shrimp to make it a complete meal.
