Thick and creamy Greek yogurt Caesar dressing being poured from a spoon over crisp romaine lettuce

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 2% preferred
  • 2½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice or juice of 1 medium lemon
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic finely grated
  • 1-2 anchovy fillets or 2 teaspoons anchovy paste (optional, for classic Caesar depth)
  • ⅓ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2-4 tablespoons cold water to thin
  • Fresh cracked black pepper
  • Kosher salt to taste

Directions 

  • Whisk or blend the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and anchovy (if using) until smooth.
  • Stir in the Parmesan and a generous amount of cracked black pepper.
  • Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dressing is creamy and spoonable but still thick enough to cling to lettuce or shrimp.
  • Taste before adding salt, as the Parmesan and Worcestershire already provide saltiness. Adjust as needed.
  • Let the dressing sit for 15–20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the garlic to mellow.
