Keto Peruvian Green Sauce. This sauce is ridiculously easy and fast to make-probably not more that 5-10 minutes but oh boy, the flavors. Real Keto Peruvian Green Sauce may not have any cheese in it and if you don’t want it, don’t put it in. This is best served with fish or chicken but it also makes a fabulous salad dressing and for the dressing the Parmesan cheese is a must. As you look at the nutritionals it is basically a free keto food as in ZeroCarb.

- If you are so inclined, this makes a really good dip with low carb veggies and can easily take the place of ranch dressing to dip wings into. As you can see, it is a very versatile sauce so go ahead and try it every which way but loose.
- If you are making this as a salad dressing the Parmesan cheese is pretty essential.
