Low Carb Cesar Salad by The Nourished CavemanConfessions.

Ok I have a confession to make…

I am obsessed….

Totally and completely obsessed by the salty, spicy, umami tanginess of garlic and anchovies….together they are a match made in heaven…

I think the obsession has it’s roots in another recipe that I shared on the blog a while ago: The Bagna Cauda Peppers, where the garlic slowly melts into butter and then is mixed with the anchovies…

One of my clients got the bug too and started to make jars full of that Bagna Cauda dressing to put on her veggies, meats…everything…I think she would have put it on cupcakes…

So she got me going again about the magic combo of garlic and anchovy….

Now, I am going to introduce you to my newest craving: The Keto and Low carb Cesar Salad!

To die for!

 

The BEST Keto and Low Carb Cesar Salad ever!

Really, really!! I promise you!

This Cesar dressing is made 100% from scratch and 1000% with love! I only used the very best ingredients…

The result is spectacular!

Ok, now let me tell you what this Cesar salad does NOT contain (which is what makes it special..)

  • NO canola oil (YUP the stuff is nasty! They have to deodorize it it’s so rancid!)
  • NO soybean oil (GMO soy, no thanx!)
  • No sugar (helloooo)
  • No thickeners
  • No preservatives
  • NO gluten!!

So if you are serious about your foods and your health, you will take the whole 10 minutes it takes to make this delicious dressing from scratch!

What you will need

Is an immersion blender! I really use mine a lot. I just got myself this one form Amazon and I totally love it, because I know is not going to break in 3 months like the other 2 I had.

You will also need some good quality ingredients.

You can get your anchovies at TJ’s or get some fancy ones here. (well, you know I am Italian, so I am partial to my little compatriot fish)

You can get good quality parmesan almost anywhere these days, even at Costco. Just make sure you buy a whole piece and grate it yourself, so it’s fresh and flavorful!

I would get the romaine lettuce at the Farmer’s Market if you have one nearby, but second best would be organic romaine hearts form the grocery store.

Oh and get organic garlic too!

How about the pork rinds? Well, those will be pretty hard to find organic, unless you make them yourself. But you can get some pretty amazing fresh ones at almost any  Mexican Carniceria!

Ok! you are now ready to get this fantastic Keto and low carb Cesar Salad started!

Ingredients
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 8 Tbs avocado oil
  • 3 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 tsp dijion mustard
  • 4 anchovy filets
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 4 Tbs grated parmesan
  • 24 whole leaves of romaine hearts
  • 2 oz of pork rinds chopped in small pieces
  • 4 tbs shaved parmesan for garnish
Instructions
  1. In the cup of an immersion blender place the egg yolk, the ACV, Mustard, insert the blender stick and stand on the egg yolk and then pour the avocado oil carefully on top.
  2. Now start the blender on low, without moving it from its position.
  3. The egg yolk should slowly emulsify with the oil, creating a mayonnaise. ( If you have problems making a mayo, use 1 teaspoon of commercial mayo as a starter together with the previous ingredients)
  4. Once the base mayo is ready, remove the blender, and add the anchovies, garlic and grated parmesan to the cup.
  5. Again blend on slow until all ingredients are well blended together and create a smooth mayonnaise like dressing.
  6. Wash and dry the romaine leaves and arrange on 4 serving plates.
  7. With a spoon drizzle the dressing on the leaves.
  8. Divide the pork rind "croutons" between the 4 dishes.
  9. Garnish with the shaved parmesan

    Is that a typo on the amount of avocado oil?

    I’m glad that I’m not the only one that likes the salty tang of anchovies. I have to make this caesar salad!

    So love Caesar salad and finally a caesar dressing recipe that’s delicious – I had no pork rind but roasted some prosciutto in the oven and crunched that over the top – thanks Vivica 🙂

    Is the nutritional info calculated per serving or for the whole 4 serving recipe?

    How long would you estimate this will keep in the fridge?

    I am so excited to make this it seems super simple!

      Hi Ali
      nutrition is per serving. I think it will keep about 3 days in the fridge. Thank you and I hope you like it 🙂

    Is the mayo supposed to be runny? Also, why don’t you use the whole egg?

    Reply
    • The Nourished Caveman says:

      My Mayo was a bit runny, as you need it as a dressing. You are welcome to use whole egg if you prefer. My recipe uses only the yolk 🙂

    There’s nothing wrong with GMOs. Their safety has been proven over and over. Otherwise, good job on the recipe. Thumbs up.

      So if they are so safe why would many countries completely ban them?????

    Love the idea of using pork rinds for croutons, so clever!

    This sounds great but the raw egg yolk in the dressing worries me.

      Patty, just make sure you do not use a factory farmed egg, use a pastured or organic one and you will be just fine!

        This is a huge stigma and the ONLY reason to avoid a raw egg is Salmonella. It is thought that the likelyhood of an egg in the US being contaminated with Salmonella is 1 in 20,000. The majority of people who get it in the first place are the very young (toddlers), the elderly, and those with immune system issues. If you are a healthy adult, your odds of catching Salmonella is so low that you are literally more statistically likely to die from falling out of bed than from Salmonella.

    I made this tonight, the dressing was a bit to tangy for me so i added a tablespoon of paleo mayo and several more tablespoons of shredded parmesan to (get it thicker) it was so delicious.
