Greek Yogurt Caesar Dressing
This creamy Greek yogurt Caesar salad dressing has all the creamy, tangy flavor of classic Caesar dressing, but with a lighter, higher-protein twist. It's an easy homemade dressing perfect for salads, wraps, bowls, or dipping.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise more to taste
- 2-4 teaspoons milk add slowly to reach desired consistency (dressing should be pourable)
- 1 clove garlic finely minced or microplanned
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt more to taste
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a medium bowl or large jar and whisk together until completely smooth.
- Add additional milk if desired to reach your desired consistency. Should be thick, but pourable. Adjust seasonings to taste.
- Toss with romaine, parmesan cheese, and croutons for an easy Caesar salad.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture. Lower-fat versions can taste thinner and more tangy.
- Freshly grated Parmesan works best.
- Adjust the consistency to your liking. Start with 2 teaspoons, and add milk gradually until the dressing is creamy but pourable.
- Tase before adding extra salt.
- The dressing thickens as it chills. Whisk in a splash of milk before serving if needed.
- Anchovy paste is optional. It adds a more traditional Caesar flavor, but the dressing is still flavorful without it.
