This recipe for homemade gluten free caesar dressing is creamy and delicious! This easy version of caesar salad dressing is healthy and keto, low carb friendly. There are no eggs in this dressing.
I'm not a big fan of raw eggs. Don't get me wrong, I love our farm fresh eggs. I just don't like them raw. So, traditional caesar dressing using raw eggs is a big no for me. I came up with this gluten free recipe using anchovy fillets as an alternative.
I love caesar salads whether I'm using classic romaine or kale. We like them with croutons and chicken or just plain. Salads make a great, quick lunch for me so I'm always looking for a new version to try.
Being gluten free means I have to be really careful with salad dressings. I've found it's the condiments that gluten is snuck into. I really have to read the labels! So, it's become easier to mix up my own gluten free salad dressings. I know what's in the dressing and can feel completely safe eating it.

Worcestershire Sauce is NOT gluten-free.
For it to be gluten-free, you need to buy the "special" kind.

Hi Monika. True not all Worcestershire sauces are gluten free. You do need to always check your labels and be sure to purchase certified gluten free. I guess I presumed those eating gluten free are doing that. I could go back and add a note for those that don't check for the gluten free certified label.

The recipe looks like it would be delicious, however - NOTE: worcestershire sauce is NOT gluten free as it contains barley, gluten free worcestershire sauce can be purchased thankfully. To prevent an avoidable unfortunate error for those negatively impacted by gluten, it would be more clear to state GF worcestershire sauce just as we would for a GF soya sauce.
