You know you should eat more salads on a ketogenic diet, but sometimes things can get a little monotonous.

That’s why we’re always creating new delicious recipes to provide you with inspiration and full bellies!

How is this different from a regular Caesar salad?

This keto kale Caesar Salad is a bit different from the traditional Caesar salad you might get at your local restaurant. Here are the main differences:

• Kale leaves instead of romaine lettuce – kale is packed with more vitamins and minerals than romaine lettuce, making even this small difference an extra boost for your health.
• Dairy-free – while some of you might be ok with some cheese, many people do much better dairy-free. That’s why this recipe is completely dairy-free.
• No croutons – croutons are made from grains (usually wheat). This means croutons not only have extra carbohydrates but gluten or other prolamines. Instead, I’ve added some juicy raspberries for a touch of sweetness and color.
• Healthier Paleo and keto Caesar dressing – most Caesar dressings are filled with unhealthy rancid seed oils like canola or sunflower oil. However, this dressing is freshly made from coconut oil.
• Packed with healthy fats – as you probably already know, you don’t need to be afraid of healthy fats. So this recipe is loaded with delicious bacon, eggs, Caesar dressing (made from coconut oil), and chicken cooked in bacon grease.

Kale Caesar Salad Recipe

Step 1:

Cook your bacon in a pan and then crumble it into bits. Save the bacon grease.

Step 2:

Cook the diced chicken breast in the bacon grease. Add in additional coconut oil if needed.

Step 3:

Make your Caesar salad dressing by following this recipe. If you have Paleo mayo handy, then use the easier method 1. Otherwise, you can make it from scratch using method 2.

Step 4:

Boil your eggs. For soft-boiled eggs, get the pot boiling with the eggs in for 4 minutes. For hard-boiled, boil for 6 minutes. Peel the eggs and slice in half.

Step 5:

Toss the salad dressing with the kale leaves. Add the chicken, bacon bits, raspberries, and eggs to the bowl and enjoy with a glass of iced tea.
