About This Recipe

If you’ve been around here for any amount of time, you know my secret to making all macro-friendly foods taste delicious is the sauces and dressings!! 

This Avocado Caesar Dressing  was originally written for my Kale Caesar Salad, but is delicious on any salads, bowls, or grilled meats!

Ingredients and Substitutions

  • Avocado: Make sure your avocado is ripe so that is blends with the dressing well.
  • Lowfat Greek yogurt: Gives this dressing a creamy base (and a boost of protein) without extra fat. 
  • Lite mayo: Helps to give a hint of traditional Caesar flavor while keeping the overall dressing lighter. You can also substitute more Greek yogurt if preferred.
  • Lemon juice: I ALWAYS recommend fresh lemon juice to bring freshness and balance to this dressing.
  • Dijon mustard: The dijon mustard acts as a natural emulsifier, creating that smooth, creamy texture that you would normally get from using traditional raw egg. 

Dietary Adaptations 

GF/DF: For dairy free, I love using Forager plant based sour cream in place of the yogurt.
