Caesar Salad — I’m pretty much over the moon about this recipe. Crispy Chicken, romaine, and touches like avocado and grated egg yolk add some delicious and healthful fats that keep you from missing the cheese.

Description

If you’ve been craving Caesar dressing on Whole30, this recipe is the perfect solution!

Ingredients

  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed
  • 2 anchovy fillets
  • ½ tsp compliant Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Crack egg into a Mason jar. Using a hand blender, slowly add oil as you blend, pausing to let incorporate. Continue to slowly add more oil.
  2. Add garlic and anchovies, blend.
  3. Add Dijon, lemon juice, kosher salt and pepper, blend well.

Notes

If you add oil too quickly, it will separate. Every time I make it, it’s a little different – so if I need to thicken it, I add 2 Tbsp of mayonnaise.
