Caesar Salad Dressing





I love homemade dressings and sauces. The taste is not comparable to the store bought. It's delicious and fresh without any preservatives or all that stuff you might not know that is the bottled  store bought dressings.Making dressings and sauces from scratch is just better for you health wise.Most of the time it's made of simple ingredients that you have on hand.So you can have a delicious fresh salad anytime.


Ingredients:
(adapted from MotherThyme.com)

1/2 cup mayonnaise*
1/2 cup plain Greek yoghurt *
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
2-3 garlic cloves,minced
freshly cracked pepper to taste and salt if needed.

* You can use mayonnaise only, using yoghurt is a little lighter version.

Directions:
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until blended.Store in refrigerator in an airtight container.

For the salad:

Chopped romaine lettuce,croutons (I use homemade, or made in house from the store),shaved or shredded Parmesan cheese. Freshly cracked pepper.
