CAESAR SALAD WITH CUMIN-SPICED PECANS

Dinner, Red Meat

March 14, 2023

MAKES: 4 servings · PREP TIME: 10 minutes

I seriously love Caesar salad. In fact, I almost always have one when we dine out. Minus the croutons, they are typically keto-friendly no matter where you order them. Often I order a large Caesar salad as my entree and add blackened salmon or chicken. There is something so crave-worthy about crunchy romaine tossed with a really garlicky Caesar dressing. In my world, there is no such thing as too much garlic. Or too much Caesar salad, for that matter.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped

• ¼ cup dairy-free Caesar dressing, store-bought or homemade (here)

• 4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and chopped

• ¼ cup halved Kalamata olives

• ½ cup Cumin-Spiced Pecans (here)

DIRECTIONS

Put the lettuce and dressing in a large serving bowl and toss to coat the lettuce with the dressing. Top with the bacon, olives, and pecans.

tip: In place of, or in addition to, the nuts, this salad is also amazing with Garlic and Herb Croutons (here).
