Remove from skillet and let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. I refuse to buy salad dressings at the grocery store because they all have weird ingredients, and for some unknown reason, a surprising number of restaurants add sugar to their salad dressings. I can imagine that many people have eaten a classic Caesar salad with chicken at some point and had this delicious dressing.
Protein
Instead of grilled chicken, feel free to add another source of protein. What do you add to make them high-protein, nutritious, and filling?

Keto Caesar Dressing Recipe
I remember the day I found out that Caesar salad dressing had anchovies in it {insert sick emoji face here!!}.
Keto salad FAQ
Most traditional Caesar salads are not keto but with a few simple changes, you can lower the carbs and increase the protein. Simply ask for no croutons, extra cheese, extra chicken, and often a poached egg is available as a salad optional extra.
You can also prepare it well in advance and keep it in the fridge.
Caesar dressing with tasty ingredients
Caesar dressing is a classic dressing that most people know. This is completely optional.
Anchovies – you may omit these but they really do add the authentic Caesar salty taste to the salad.
Dressing – as you’ll see below, I take the standard keto Caesar dressing and make it my own!
This delicious homemade dressing will help you hit your macros. Why not add cooked diced bacon and avocado too? Dressings often have added sugar. They are able to choose whichever ingredients they like from the fridge and add them to their salad. Much of the flavor comes from garlic, parmesan, French mustard and tamari soy sauce.
I was not okay with that.
How many carbs are in a Caesar salad will depend on what ingredients have been used, how many croutons have been added, and whether it is served with bread on the side?
It is my healthy family ‘fast food’ and cheaper than takeaways. Diced cooked bacon pieces, a poached egg, sliced boiled egg, cooked shrimp, cooked prawns, or a low-carb vegetarian source of protein.
Herbs and seasoning
The cheeses and Caesar dressing are both delicious, but you might also want to add garlic powder, dried onion flakes, bagel seasoning,
Storage
Just like any fresh salad, this keto Caesar salad recipe will be best if enjoyed right away.
I was also immature and didn’t know why I wasn’t okay with that, just that it sounded gross.
I’m still not a fan of canned fish (which is unfortunate since my whole family loves sardines), but I’m totally fine with them in my salad dressing if I can’t really taste them. It doesn't take many minutes to whip up the dressing.
