Make creamy Caesar Dressing in just 3 minutes. Made with Greek Yogurt, fresh lemon, parmesan, garlic and anchovy paste. This easy healthy dressing has just 52 calories per tablespoon.

If you love Caesar Dressing but are not a fan of heavy calorie packed version this 3 Minute Skinny Caesar Dressing is sure to become a favorite.
No raw egg or fussing with a oily can of anchovies. Just toss everything into a blender and your fresh healthy salad dressing is ready.
I love keeping a jar in the refrigerator for easy lunch salads and quick weeknight dinners. It’s delicious tossed with fresh crisp romain, drizzled on chicken or used as a dip for your favorite veggies.
Ingredients for Skinny Caesar Dressing –
- Plain Greek Yogurt – any variety from non fat to full fat works beautifully in this recipe.
- Olive oil – just 2 tablespoons adds a velvety texture and keeps the yogurt from separating.
- Fresh Lemon Juice – adds a bright tangy flavor.
- Dijon Mustard – adds a little zip and helps emulsify the dressing.
- Worcestershire Sauce – adds another level of flavor and umami.
- Anchovy Paste – the secret ingredient with no fishy flavor.
- Grated Parmesan – adds an extra nutty flavor
- Garlic – only one clove so it doesn’t over power the dressing.
Do I need anchovies for Caesar Dressing –
- So lets talk about anchovies. You may think you don’t like them…but if you like Caesar dressing than you like anchovies. Anchovy flavor is what made you fall in love with the dressing. Using Anchovy Paste eliminates the hassle of a tin of anchovies and removes that fishy flavor. If you leave out the anchovies, it will still be good, but it will not be Caesar. It will be Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette.
How to make Skinny and Healthy Caesar Dressing –
Simply add all the ingredients to a blender and blend for 30 seconds. Pour into a sealed container and store in the refrigerator.
How to store homemade Caesar Dressing –
- store in a clean airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
- whisk well before serving. If it thickens simply add a teaspoon or two of olive oil to thin it out.
- freezing is not recommended.

This is the best skinny caesar dressing around. It’s an absolute favourite of mine, I eat it at least a few times a month. I use extra garlic and real anchovies instead of paste. It’s super simple, and makes for a really satisfying meal. Thank you Laughing Spatula!

Sounds great but if there an alternative to anchovy paste? We don’t eat fish.
Kathi & Rachel says
You can just omit the anchovy paste. Kathi
