Caesar salad is one of my all time favorite foods, & my mom's dressing is the best I've ever had. & the best part? It's a healthier version and tastes even better for it! I've made it for friends on so many occasions, & it's my go-to to bring to an event. Hope y'all enjoy!

Ingredient Breakdown


  • Light Mayo & Greek Yogurt: This is the part that makes it healthier. I also love the more sour flavor the yogurt adds!

  • Lemon Juice: Usually, 3 large lemons are enough! Add more if the dressing needs more acidity.

  • EVOO, Worcestershire Sauce, Dijon, Garlic: These add all the classic Caesar flavor.

  • Parmesan: Adds the structure to the dressing, don't forget some on top!

  • Anchovy: This is my secret ingredient! It adds the sour flavor and makes it perfect. Don't be afraid of the fish vibe-- it's so worth it!


Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup light mayo

  • 1/4 cup greek yogurt

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons EVOO

  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard

  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 garlic cloves, grated or minced

  • 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese

  • 1 cleaned anchovy filet

  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions:

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a mini food processor or blender

  2. Blend until smooth

  3. Add on top of romaine with grilled chicken and enjoy!



Conclusion


This dressing is the very best! I get requests for it all the time & can't wait to see it be made by others! Hope y'all enjoy!

Yay! Love! You can also use anchovies paste…a good squeeze (like a teaspoon). It keeps in the fridge and doesn’t taste as ‘fishy.’
