Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 0.333 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1.5 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Place all ingredients for the Caesar dressing into a mason jar.
- Cover the mason jar and shake until all the ingredients are combined and the dressing is smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Serve over fresh romaine lettuce and toss with croutons and additional Parmesan. Can also be used as a dip for vegetables or a dressing for wraps.
Notes
Note: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. The dressing may thicken slightly after storing—stir in a little water before serving if needed. For a sharper flavor, add 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or Worcestershire sauce. To make your own anchovy paste, blend 4-5 anchovy fillets in a small food processor until smooth.
