Healthy Caesar Dressing
Healthy Caesar Dressing blends garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and Parmesan cheese for a creamy, tangy salad dressing with reduced fat. The use of Greek yogurt replaces traditional mayonnaise or heavy cream, maintaining the creamy texture while adding protein. Blending all ingredients creates a smooth dressing with balanced saltiness and acidity, suitable for Caesar salads and other greens.
