Keto Caesar Salad ๐Ÿฅ—

 


๐Ÿฅ— Classic, Crunchy & Keto: Caesar Salad Done Right

Not every legend starts with a crown—some start with a crouton (or in our case, without one).

The Caesar Salad is one of the most iconic dishes on menus around the world, and believe it or not, it wasn’t even born in Italy! It was created in 1924 by Caesar Cardini, an Italian-American restaurateur working in Tijuana, Mexico. Short on kitchen supplies during a 4th of July rush, he whipped together what he had on hand: romaine, Parmesan, raw egg, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and olive oil. A star was born.

Fast forward to today, and Caesar Salad is still the go-to for flavor lovers everywhere. Lucky for us keto folks, it’s easy to make low-carb while keeping all that bold, tangy flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce

  • 1/3 cup shaved Parmesan cheese

  • Optional: 4–6 grilled chicken tenders (for a heartier version)
