Healthy Caesar Dressing without Anchovies

Iris Warren

Report

This healthy Caesar salad dressing is creamy, easy, and made without mayo, eggs, or anchovies! It's packed with protein from Greek yogurt, rich, and tangy, and it's ready in 5 minutes with just six simple ingredients. It's so much better than store-bought!

Instructions

Prepare the dressing by whisking all the ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. Start with 1 tablespoon of olive oil; you can add another after whisking if you want a “richer” dressing.
Taste & adjust seasonings by adding salt, more pepper, or a squeeze more of lemon juice.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 days. I love it with this crispy salmon caesar salad or this chicken caesar pasta salad!

Notes

Greek Yogurt: I used Chobani 0%, but you can also use 2% or 5%. Don't use flavored greek yogurt – it must be plain!
Don’t skip out on the Dijon mustard. You cannot taste it! The Dijon mustard gives this homemade caesar dressing that classic umami, tangy flavor.
Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 6 days. Make sure to give it a stir before using it.
Vegan Option: You can make this caesar salad dressing vegan and dairy-free by substituting the Greek yogurt with ¼ cup of runny tahini and ¼ cup of hummus. You can also use plain dairy-free yogurt (substitute it 1:1 with the Greek yogurt).
