Combine all dressing ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
Place salad ingredients in a large bowl. Top with desired amount of dressing and mix well.
Serve immediately.

Refrigerate this Caesar salad dressing immediately and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days only. If stored longer, there is a risk that the garlic, which has low acidity, may produce botulism, a serious toxin, and this is not a risk worth taking.
Make your own almond flour "croutons" or crumbs by tossing almond flour with olive oil, salt, and your choice of herbs or spices, then toasting them in the oven until golden brown.
Choose high-quality Parmesan cheese, preferably freshly grated, as it will have a better taste and texture. Avoid pre-grated Parmesan cheese, as it often contains additives and fillers that can add carbs.
To make your low-carb Caesar salad more filling and nutritious, consider adding a protein source. Grilled chicken breast, cooked shrimp, or even hard-boiled eggs can be great options. They will not only boost the protein content but also add more flavor and texture to your salad.
