Tips for Success
The Garlic Flavour
To make this recipe more garlicy, add an extra clove of minced garlic. To reduce the garlic flavour, use only 1 clove.
Using store-bought grated Parmesan.
Feel free to substitute fresh Parmesan with store-bought, ready-to-use Parmesan. You may need to increase the amount of Parmesan to achieve the same flavour. Just taste as you go to get the desired flavour.
Using Bottled Lemon Juice
For the best results, use fresh, but if it is not an option, you may substitute with bottled juice. If you don’t find the dressing tangy enough, increase the amount of bottled juice.
Storing Instructions
Store in a dressing bottle or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Do not freeze.
This low carb Caesar dressing proves that diabetic-friendly eating doesn’t mean sacrificing flavour. It’s creamy, bold, and endlessly versatile. It’s perfect for elevating everyday meals while keeping carbs in check. Once you try homemade, you may never go back to bottled dressing again.
