Lime Caesar Dressing
This is a fantastic healthier homemade salad dressing, and a cinch to whisk together in no time.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt whole milk or non-fat is fine
- 1/2 cup finely-grated Parmesan cheese
- 3-4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 8-10 cranks fresh-ground black pepper
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Combine the yogurt, Parmesan, 3 tablespoons of the lime juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, mustard, garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Taste; add the remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice if you prefer the dressing to have a little more bite. Add water a little bit at a time to thin out the dressing to your desired consistency. Whisk again until very smooth, and enjoy.
- Any extra can be stored in the fridge in a tightly-sealed jar for up to 1 week. Shake well to recombine before serving.

Notes
- Citrus: Yes, you can sub lemon juice if you like! But try the lime and you might be a convert. :)
- Anchovy Paste: Adds a signature flavor but can be left out if needed! If you skip it, taste the finished dressing; if it's missing a little something, try adding another 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire to replace some of the salty, umami flavor.
