Greek Yogurt Caesar Dressing
Caesar salad is a classic steakhouse staple. However, some iterations of this dressing utilize mayonnaise as the base to give it the perfect creamy consistency, adding additional fat and calories. This version skips the mayo and utilizes plain, non-fat Greek yogurt as the base of the dressing, allowing it to maintain the mouthfeel that we love but without guilt. Traditional Caesar ingredients are added such as anchovy paste for umami balance, garlic and dijon for some spice and kick, and lots of lemon juice for a little tang. Finished with salty parmesan cheese, you'll never know you're eating a "healthier" Caesar dressing. Give this one a try.
