Creamy Caesar Dressing

Creamy Caesar Dressing

I found this recipe on Skinnytaste and couldn’t wait to make it. I never make Caesar salads because they are so unhealthy but this recipe gives you all the Caesar salad flavor but without any of the guilt. I adapted the recipe a bit by adding some Worcestershire sauce, black pepper,  and extra garlic. This creamy dressing has a ton of flavor and it was super simple to make. I loved how tangy and garlicky it was. This will be a regular on my table from now on.

  1. I like a good caesar dressing, but I’ve steered clear of making them as well. The anchovies always weird me out! I’m tempted to finally try one at last, now that you’ve given this one your stamp of approval. It sounds good.

  2. I make mine the same way but without the lemon juice, Worcestershire Sauce, and yogurt. Will have to add these I am sure the dressing will become more delicious!!

  3. I’ve made a dressing similar to this but it doesn’t use anchovies… just the Worcestershire… Oh and I used that really bad for you mayo! lol I will have to try this next time I make a Caesar salad… sounds perfect!

  4. I love Caesar salad, but like yourself, I don’t like the fat and calories it contains. I’ve tried so many home made Caesar dressings and none have turned out so I normally just take Renee’s all natural light caesar dressing and dilute it with water or yogurt. This dressing recipe looks great and I love that it isn’t loaded with oil like most dressings. I’m going to try it without the anchovies.

  5. Your dressing looks easy and delicious Pam. I have a son that just loves Caesar dressing so I’ll pass your recipe on to him too.

  6. Skinny caesar!? Love it! I haven’t had a a caesar salad in ages because they are so caloric at restaurants…but this is the perfect make-at-home version.

  7. I’ve always loved Caesar dressing, but never seem to make it at home because it’s rather time consuming – this is definitely one of the easiest adaptations I’ve seen!

  8. I prefer using anchovy paste in mine, that way I don’t have to see the fish, lol. I have been using Greek yogurt a TON. For almost anything that calls for sour cream, I’m using yogurt. Love the taste and don’t miss the calories.
