Caesar Salad is a traditional staple in American cuisine. I made this classic totally keto-friendly in this Keto Chicken Caesar Salad recipe. This salad is special because of the homemade Creamy Caesar Dressing that is drizzled over the top. The dressing is made in the blender and comes together in a snap! Overall, this dish requires very little prep, so it is perfect for the family on-the-go and busy folks!

Is Caesar Salad Keto?

Traditionally, Caesar salad contains lettuce, cheese, croutons, and caesar dressing in the dish’s simplest form. Croutons are not keto-friendly because they are made of bread. But, they are necessary for providing a crunchy texture. So, as an alternative, I’m using cheese crisps in place of croutons.

Crouton Options for Keto Chicken Caesar Salad

Here are some keto crouton options that I enjoy:

  • Cheese Crisps – this brand has a wide range of flavors like Bacon BBQ
  • Keto Protein Puffs (Ranch)
  • Cheese Crisps – this brand is just Parmesan

Time Saving & General Tips

Using rotisserie chicken from the market helps save a lot of time when preparing this low carb caesar salad. This way, the chicken is ready to go when you need it.

If you are cooking your own chicken, allow it to rest and cool before slicing and adding it to the salad. Using hot chicken will wilt the lettuce.

You can also buy pre-washed and cut lettuce at the store, saving you time on rinsing, drying, and slicing. If you are washing your own lettuce, I recommend using a salad spinner to make sure the lettuce is dry and to prevent a soggy salad.

Meal Prep Tips

I love using this salad recipe for meal prepping. Just be sure to store the dressing and cheese crisps separately to avoid having soggy crisps and overdressed, wilted lettuce. Add both elements to your salad when you are ready to eat.

I store my salad in these glass meal prep jars and store the dressing in these reusable dressing containers. The cheese crisps, I store in their original packaging.

Caesar Salad Variations: Proteins Besides Rotisserie Chicken

I included rotisserie chicken to make this a super easy option. But, if you have time, here are some of my other favorite proteins for this salad:

  • 4-Spice Chicken Breast
  • Air Fryer Salmon Filet
  • Boneless New York Strip Steak
  • Cast Iron Whole30 Shrimp
  • Grilled Chicken Kabobs
  • Pan-seared Halibut
  • Pan-seared Scallops
  • Air Fryer Pork Chops
