Can I use low-fat yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, you can use low-fat yogurt, but it may alter the creaminess slightly. Greek yogurt gives the best texture and flavor.

Is the anchovy necessary for this dressing?

The anchovy adds authentic Caesar flavor, but it is optional. You can skip it if you prefer a vegetarian version.

The dressing can last about a week, depending on the freshness of your dairy ingredient, so check the expiration dates for safety.

Blend the ingredients: In a blender, combine Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese), Parmesan cheese, olive oil, Dijon mustard, mayo, lemon juice, garlic, anchovies (if using), Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
Process until smooth: Blend until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Store: Pour the dressing into a jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate.
Serve: Use on salads, as a dip for veggies, or as a topping for grilled chicken or wraps.

For a creamier texture, blend a little longer until smooth.
Adjust flavors to taste more lemon juice for tang or more garlic for a bold kick.
To thin the dressing, add a splash of water until you reach the desired consistency.
For a dairy-free version, swap Greek yogurt or cottage cheese with cashew or tofu-based alternatives.
