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.
