Ingredients
- 2 Eggs (organic, free-range preferred)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 clove Garlic, crushed
- 3 Anchovy Fillets
- 1 teaspoon White Pepper
- 2-3 pinches Salt
- 17 fluid ounces Olive Oil (light flavor)
- 2 ounces Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 1/3 cup Parsley, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
How To Make Keto Caesar Salad Dressing
- Combine the base: In a food processor, blend the eggs, mustard, garlic, anchovies, salt, and pepper at medium-high speed for about 3 minutes or until smooth.
- Emulsify with oil: Reduce the speed to medium-low and slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a thin stream. This gradual addition is key to creating a creamy, emulsified dressing.
- Add the finishing touches: Stir in the parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon juice until well combined.
- Taste and adjust: Sample the dressing and add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preferences. If it’s too thick, thin it with a few tablespoons of hot water.
Tips & Tricks
- Use high-quality ingredients: The flavor of your dressing will be greatly enhanced by using fresh, flavorful ingredients. Opt for good quality olive oil and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
- Don’t rush the oil: Adding the oil too quickly can cause the dressing to separate. Take your time and drizzle it in slowly for a smooth, creamy texture.
- Experiment with flavors: Feel free to adjust the ingredients to your liking. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick, or try using different types of mustard for a unique twist.
