If you like Caesar salad, you should try this recipe. It's my take on a lighter, newer version. It's a cross between wonderful, summery tsatski and creamy, savory caesar. It's almost a quarter of the fat and calories too. In case you haven't enjoyed tsatski yet: It's a greek yogurt sauce that is magic on anything. Greek yogurt with cucumber, garlic, and lemon. On that side note, you should try it sometime. We use it on sandwiches and grilled chicken.
1/4 cup greek yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1-1.5 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 anchovy fillets
1 garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cucumber
Puree everything but the cucumber in a blender / food processor until smooth.
Shred the cucumber on a grater and use your hands to squeeze some (not all) of the water out. Mix with the dressing and refrigerate for about 10-15 minutes.
Toss with your salad and enjoy a caesar that is lighter and zippier. And feel great about yourself because you ate salad which is crisp and alive.
I strongly recommend you either grill or find someone to grill some chicken marinated in lemon, olive oil, and garlic to enjoy with this salad.
