Rich and Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing without Anchovies

Rich and Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing without Anchovies

Bold, tangy and full of flavor, this is my go-to Caesar salad dressing - no anchovies required. Briny capers stand in for that classic salty punch, while creamy mayo, tangy Greek yogurt, fresh garlic and a splash of lemon juice combine for a rich, zesty dressing that hits all the right notes. This recipe is vegetarian, gluten free and easily made egg-free.

The dressing recipe yields about 1 3/4 cups (370 grams).

Ingredients

1/2 cup (135 grams) Plain Whole Milk Yogurt or plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup (120 grams) Mayonnaise I use Veganeise
4 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Non Pareil Capers
1 1/2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
4-5 Plump Garlic Cloves adjust to taste
1/4 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt adjust to taste
1/8 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
4-6 dashes Tabasco adjust to taste

Instructions

To a food processor or blender (I use Vitamix), add the yogurt, mayo, olive oil, capers, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper and Tabasco. Blend until all the ingredients are emulsified, thick and creamy. Adjust salt and Tabasco to taste. There should be just a hint of heat from the Tabasco - not over powering.
To Store: Pour into a lidded Mason jar and chill in the fridge for up to a week. Shake to reemulsify before enjoying.
