Is Caesar Dressing Keto-Friendly?

Caesar dressing should only be consumed in moderation on a keto diet. Caesar dressing is a traditional ingredient in Caesar salad and contains a fair number of carbs, making it unsuitable for constant consumption on a ketogenic diet. 

Tweaks may be made to a Caesar dressing recipe which can make the salad dressing more keto-friendly and suitable for more consumption on the ketogenic diet.

Lazy Keto

• Lazy keto is a version of the keto diet in which the dieter includes packaged and processed foods in their diet. Such foods are considered “lazy” due to their lower nutritional value.
• A lazy keto diet is still a low-carb, high-fat diet and will still induce ketosis in the body.
• The processed foods consumed on a lazy keto diet are likely to contain additives and more salt and may lack vital nutrients that the body needs.
• The lazy keto diet is favored by those who do not wish to spend time making clean ketogenic meals.
• Try using olive oil, homemade guacamole, Greek yogurt, or sour cream instead.

Too High In Carbs

• Caesar dressing has a relatively high number of carbs for the ketogenic diet, which is why it can only be consumed in very small amounts.
• Choosing a Caesar dressing may push you over your carb limit for the day, so be careful when opting for this dressing.
• A Caesar dressing recipe may be modified to remove much of the carb content and make it more suitable for a ketogenic diet.
