A lighter Caesar dressing made with Parmesan, light mayonnaise or yogurt, low fat milk, Dijon and lemon juice. Chill briefly and spoon it over romaine and croutons.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup light mayonnaise or Greek/plain yogurt
  • ¾ cup low fat milk
  • ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

  • Place the Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
  • Stir in the mayonnaise or yogurt, milk, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice.
  • Stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Chill for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Spoon over romaine with croutons, crushed garlic, diced hard-cooked egg, and any other vegetables you like.

Notes

Keep tightly covered in the refrigerator; use within 3 to 4 days. Stir or shake before serving, since the cheese may settle. Discard if it smells off, separates in a way stirring won't fix, or tastes noticeably sour.
