Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Flavor & Seasonings

  • 1/4 cup light olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard (Grey Poupon preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Dashes of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients including cottage cheese, almond milk, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and dried parsley to ensure a smooth preparation process.
  2. Combine the Base Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add the cottage cheese, almond milk, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. These form the creamy foundation of the dressing.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Pour in the light olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, freshly ground pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and dried parsley to the blender for enhanced flavor complexity.
  4. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the dressing is smooth, creamy, and well-emulsified, ensuring no lumps remain for a silky texture.
  5. Adjust Thickness if Needed: Check the dressing’s consistency; if you prefer a thinner dressing, progressively blend in additional almond milk until the desired pourable texture is achieved.
  6. Store and Serve: Transfer the dressing into an airtight container such as a mason jar. Refrigerate for up to one week. Serve drizzled over salads or use as a dip to enjoy its fresh, creamy Caesar flavor.

Notes

  • Use low-fat cottage cheese to keep the dressing light while maintaining creaminess.
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice brightens the flavor and balances richness.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on your preference.
  • Worcestershire sauce adds umami depth; substitute with soy sauce for a vegetarian version.
  • Store in the refrigerator and use within 7 days for best freshness.
  • For a vegan adaptation, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast and Worcestershire sauce with a vegan alternative.
