Why You’ll Love this Recipe
- This healthy Caesar dressing is rich, creamy and zesty!
- We’re swapping out mayonnaise for protein-packed Greek yogurt.
- Made with simple, fresh ingredients that taste way better than store-bought.
- No raw eggs or anchovies in this Caesar dressing!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- greek yogurt – protein-packed Greek yogurt takes the place of mayo or egg yolks, but you could use regular yogurt or even mayonnaise if that’s all you have on hand.
- olive oil – I like to use a good olive oil that doesn’t have to be expensive, just make sure it’s cold-pressed and organic for the most flavor.
- lemon juice – this adds such a fresh taste and brightens up the whole dressing, don’t skip! Feel free to add in a little lemon zest too if you want even more lemon flavor.
- dijon mustard – this adds a little zip and helps to emulsify the dressing.
- garlic – fresh garlic tastes SO good in this recipe, but feel free to use one teaspoon of garlic powder in place of fresh garlic.
- worcestershire sauce – adds a savory flavor to the dressing and takes the place of anchovies typically used in traditional caesar dressings, but feel free to use anchovy paste, capers or even fish sauce, if you prefer.
- parmesan cheese – make sure to use freshly grated parmesan cheese in this.
- salt + black pepper – brings all these flavors together.
How to Make Healthy Caesar Dressing
This is seriously SO, so easy to make! Simply throw all your ingredients your blender and MIX until nice and creamy. That’s it! Feel free to add a little water one tablespoon at a time to thin out the dressing until you achieve the consistency you’re looking for. If you don’t have a blender, you can also whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl or jar.
Ways to Use This Dressing
- Dressing for salads, sandwiches or wraps
- Drizzle over tomatoes, cucumbers and other veggies
- Use it as a dip for veggies, wings or fries
- Add it to quinoa or other grain bowls
- Makes a great dressing for pasta salads too!
Storing and Prepping
This dressing will last up to 1 week in the fridge, but definitely tastes best as fresh as possible. I like to store my dressings in mason jars because they have a nice tight seal and are easy to take on-the-go.
