I frequently get asked the question “How do I eat more fat?” While in a perfect world, you can eat globs of coconut oil off a spoon, it’s just not that attractive of an offer to most ketoers out there. Instead, you can create a keto salad dressing, pack it on top of a salad full of greens (micronutrient filled), and enjoy to your hearts content!
Instead of worrying about how many carbs a dressing has, or which to choose from – you could make your own in just about the same amount of time. In fact, it’ll be done in just under 5 minutes. It’s almost pure fat, so your carb counts don’t have to go into distress and it’s super keto friendly, so you don’t have to worry about getting fats in.
Make sure that you add extra parmesan to your salad. Typically a Caesar dressing will include parmesan into the recipe, but I decided to make it quick and easy with mayonnaise. If you use parmesan in the dressing itself, it tends to get too thick and slightly clumpy.
