In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.
My Bacon Chicken Caesar Casserole was so popular with readers (and with my belly) I wanted to expand on it. And expand on it, and expand on it. Editing this post a couple of years after originally sharing I've turned that recipe into a Spinach Dip and shared my original Caesar Dressing on its own.
The simple combination of roasted garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and various creamy ingredients mimics the flavors of Caesar without all the fuss of anchovies and other add-ins.
I'm going to admit that I ate this whole thing. I have the nutrition calculated per slice in case you want to serve it as an appetizer or side dish. It has a lot of fiber to balance out the carbs from the coconut and almond flours. And it's delicious.
Fathead Pizza Dough
This is a variation on the popular fathead pizza dough. I used cheddar in it for this recipe to kick up the flavor. You can use any variety of fathead dough or another low carb pizza dough for this recipe.

Taryn, allergic to anything with coconut. any suggestions ? Would love to try this
Taryn says
You can replace the coconut with extra almond flour.
Amy Frickey says
Can THM baking blend be used?
Taryn says
Yes, use a little less.
Ashley says
This is the second dough I've tried with the melted moz. and it is not looking like yours! ugh! Is there a trick to melting the cheese? It either (1) burns or (2) just ends up looking like the inside of a cheese stick - just globbed together, thus resulting in a rather dry type of dough....
Taryn says
I melt it in the microwave and stir every 45 seconds or so.
Diana says
would THM baking blend work?

Sorry, that should've been a clickable link. It's equal parts almond flour, coconut flour, and ground golden flax.
Gayle says
Can the flax be replaced with something else? Ty
Taryn says
More almond flour.
