  • 4 tbsp Real Mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Anchovy Paste
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 0 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tsp Garlic
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard

DIRECTIONS

Traditionally, Caesar salad is served with croutons. Once you're in Phase 2, you can top this salad with low carb croutons. To make them, cut 2 slices of low-carb bread in 1/2-inch cubes and toss with 2 teaspoons of virgin olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 6 - 8 minutes until golden brown. They can be made up to 1 day ahead.

 
  1. To make the dressing: in a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, anchovy paste, lemon juice, oil, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, mustard, salt, pepper and a splash of Tabasco until smooth. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the cheese.
  2. Toss lettuce with dressing until evenly coated. Divide on plates; top with remaining cheese and 2 anchovies per plate (optional).  Serve topped with chicken, salmon or shimp to make it a complete meal.


 

Cooking Tip

Feel free to swap in your favorite lettuce for this recipe, as net carb change will likely be minimal.
