Ingredients
 

  • ⅔ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt, I used Chobani 0%
  • 1 - 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, about ½ a lemon
  • 2 tbsp pickle juice, I used Kosher Dill
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 - 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • ¾ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt, optional

Instructions

  • Prepare the dressing by whisking all the ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. Start with 1 tbsp 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 1/4 cup of runny tahini and 1/4 cup of hummus. You can also use plain dairy-free yogurt (substitute it 1:1 with the Greek yogurt).
