As a dietitian, I always say: the dressing makes the salad. And while Caesar salad gets a bad rap thanks to the low-fat trends of the 90s, I see it differently. A great dressing adds flavor, satisfaction, and even a nutrition boost, especially when it’s made with nourishing ingredients like protein-packed Greek yogurt, and antioxidant-rich extra virgin olive oil!

A Word On Our Star Ingredient For This Dressing

Greek yogurt. I love you.

I mean it really can do it all (which is why I use Greek yogurt as a nutrition boost in everything from smoothies to desserts, dips and baked goods). In this dressing it provides the most irresistibly creamy base and its happens to add a whopping 18 grams of protein to this recipe. It’s also rich in Calcium to support our bones and gut-healthy probiotics. Talk about a star.

Let’s Whisk This Dressing Up Step-by Step!

Step 1: Toss everything into a bowl or sealable jar (great if you’re planning to store it for the week!).

Step 2: Whisk or shake until smooth and glossy.

That’s it! I told you it was quick.
