I was out on a business dinner last night at a local establishment and it inspired this #WhatsCookinWednesday recipe for a Keto friendly Chicken Caesar Salad. I was really in the mood for a salad last night, plus it was one of the few things on the menu that looked to be keto friendly. The only thing… they used mayonnaise without all of the goodies that make it a Caeser. To say it was flavorless is an understatement. This one has mayo too but everything you need to enjoy it! So… I set out to find a tasty Keto Chicken Caesar Salad that you’re sure to love. Try it out!
