Ingredients

Caesar Dressing Ingredients

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (5% whole fat or 2% low-fat for thick and creamy results)
  • ½ lemon, juiced (approx. 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped or grated

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt with some fat content (2% or 5%) for best texture and creaminess.
  • Adjust water quantity carefully to get the perfect dressing thickness.
  • This dressing does not contain anchovies, making it suitable for those avoiding fish.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freshly grated parmesan yields the best flavor compared to pre-grated varieties.
