How To Make caesar-style salad

  • Step 1
    This take on classic Caesar salad uses nonfat yogurt in place of oil and egg (or oil and mayonnaise) for a lean but creamy dressing that is enhanced by grated Parmesan.
  • Step 2
    In a small food processor blend together yogurt, anchovy paste, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic paste, 2 tablespoons Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste and transfer to a bowl or jar. Chill dressing, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days. Divide romaine among 4 bowls and drizzle dressing over salads. Sprinkle each salad with 1 tablespoon onion and 1/2 tablespoon remaining Parmesan.
  • Step 3
