Keto Shirataki Noodle Caesar Salad Recipe

Print Recipe

A creamy, crunchy, cold keto Caesar pasta salad made with shirataki noodles instead of regular pasta. Perfect for anyone on a keto diet who misses pasta salad, Caesar dressing, or just wants a fast, low-carb meal that still tastes like comfort food.

Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 1 bag (7 oz) shirataki noodles

  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce

  • 1/2 cup cooked chicken breast, chopped (optional)

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • Handful pork rinds or bacon bits

  • Fresh black pepper

For the Caesar Dressing:

  • 1 egg yolk (room temp)

  • 2 anchovy fillets or 1 tsp anchovy paste

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1/2 cup olive oil

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Rinse shirataki noodles well in cold water, then boil for 2–3 minutes. Drain.

  • Dry-fry the noodles in a pan on medium heat for 3–5 minutes until squeaky and dry.

  • In a small bowl or blender, mix egg yolk, garlic, anchovy, mustard, and lemon juice.

  • Slowly whisk in olive oil until thick and creamy. Stir in Parmesan. Add salt and pepper.

  • In a bowl, mix noodles, lettuce, chicken (if using), and dressing.

  • Toss until coated. Add toppings and fresh pepper. Serve cold.

Notes

  • Drying the noodles is key for texture.

  • Anchovies bring umami but can be left out.

  • Use bacon or pork rinds for crunch instead of croutons.

  • Keeps up to 2 days in the fridge if stored without dressing.
