The Best High Protein Caesar Dressing
This high protein caesar dressing is creamy, zippy, and full of bold, savory flavor—thanks to real parmesan, tangy lemon, and a secret protein-packed base (hint: it’s not mayo). You’d never guess it’s made with Greek yogurt or cottage cheese—and it only takes 5 minutes to whip up!
Servings: 16 tbsp (1 cup)
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
- 1 tbsp mayo
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1-2 cloves garlic minced
- 1-2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 anchovy filets minced optional for authentic flavor
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a blender, add in the Greek yogurt, grated parmesan cheese, olive oil, Dijon mustard, mayo, lemon juice, minced garlic, minced anchovies (if using), Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper pulse until smooth and well combined.
- Store in a jar with a lid in the refrigerator. This dressing will last as long as the expiration date of the cottage cheese or Greek yogurt.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. The dressing will thicken when chilled, which is great for dipping. For drizzling over salad, let it sit out for 5–10 minutes or thin with a splash of water.
- I don’t recommend freezing—it can separate once thawed. When in doubt, give it a sniff and a stir. If it smells off, it’s time for a new batch!
