How To Make The Best Keto Caesar Salad Dressing
- Put eggs, mustard, garlic, anchovies, salt, and pepper in a food processor and blend on medium/high speed for 3 minutes or until well blended.
- Drop the speed below medium and slowly add the oil to a thin stream. If the oil is added too quickly, it will cause the dressing to split.
- Add the parmesan, chopped parsley, and lemon juice and blend until combined.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if desired. If the dressing is too thick, add 2-3 tablespoons of hot water to thin it.
- Serve it drizzled over your favorite salad, or use it as a dipping sauce.

Delicious without anchovies!
Thank you Margarida.
Just made the recipe–made a whole jar! Perfect for a couple weeks 🙂
This is awesome! Thanks!
Mine comes out very bitter. Any suggestions.??????
Hi Sue,
The bitterness is caused by using olive oil that is strongly flavored. Using a very mild olive oil will prevent this, if you dislike the flavor of olive oil, you can swap it out for macadamia oil.
This is amazing! I really like how you don’t have to make your own mayonnaise first, that it all emulsifies together in the food processor. I did add more garlic as I love garlic. And I used 1.5 tsp anchovie paste instead of whole anchovies. I will definitely share this recipe and make it often!
Thank you for your kind words Shelly 🙂
I don’t have anchovies, can I skip it?
Yes you can Munira.
Thank you so much. I LOVE this recipe! This is my weekly go to! I make a double batch every week with my meal prep and it’s perfect!
This looks delicious! May I ask, does it call for 2 whole eggs or did you mean just the yolks? TY so much!
Hi Mary,
The recipe calls for whole eggs 🙂
