Description

A lighter take on a classic! Creamy yogurt replaces some of the oil in this Caesar dressing, making it a lighter yet still satisfying salad.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 Safest Choice Egg
  • 1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon anchovies or anchovy paste
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1 garlic clove minced

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir well with a whisk.
  2. Coddle egg by heating 3 cups of water to boiling (212°F/100°C).
  3. Drop in egg (still in shell) and let stand for 1 minute.
  4. Remove egg from water and let cool.
  5. Once cooled, crack open and whisk egg into dressing until thoroughly blended.
  6. Mash desired amount of anchovies and whisk them into the dressing. Set aside a few for garnish if desired.
  7. Place torn lettuce leaves in a large bowl.
  8. Pour dressing over the lettuce and toss lightly.
  9. Add the grated cheese, garlic croutons, and freshly ground pepper; toss.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat plain yogurt instead of fat-free.
  • If you don’t have anchovies, substitute 1/2 teaspoon of fish sauce for a similar umami flavor.
  • Store leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
