Caesar on the Light Side

By LaLaCooks

Jamie Oliver makes his Caesar salad dressing with thick Greek-style yogurt, which he often uses as a healthy alternative to heavy cream and sour cream.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup low-fat or nonfat Greek-style yogurt
• 2 anchovy fillets, mashed
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1 large head of romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt with the anchovies, garlic, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk in the oil and half of the cheese and season with salt and pepper.

In a large bowl, toss the romaine with half the dressing and the remaining cheese. Serve, passing the remaining dressing at the table.

Notes
First Course to Main Course: Oliver turns this into a more substantial salad with broiled, flaked salmon or grilled chicken breast.
