  • Greek yogurt Caesar salad is a healthier twist on the classic Caesar salad. It substitutes traditional ingredients with lighter alternatives to reduce calories without sacrificing flavour. The primary change in this version involves replacing much of the mayonnaise or oil in the dressing with Greek yogurt.
    Benefits:
    Healthier: Lower in calories and fats, higher in protein.
    Digestive benefits: Greek yogurt contains probiotics that benefit gut health.
    Versatile: It is easy to adjust based on dietary preferences or restrictions, such as using vegetarian Worcestershire sauce or omitting the anchovies.
    This version of Caesar salad is ideal for those looking to enjoy a beloved classic with a healthier profile. It is suitable for a variety of eating plans while still delivering great taste and satisfaction.

    Fun fact from a Yank across the pond… I’ve never had trouble pronouncing Worcestershire sauce because my father was born and raised in Worcester Massachusetts. So Worcester/Worcestershire sauce was always taught and pronounced Wooster/Woostershire sauce - and Dad never let us kids forget it. 😄😄

    I had my first Greek salad in a Shaky's pizza house on a motorway cafe on the side of the most toxic road in Manilla. Perhaps is was the Feta cheese that enhanced bad layer that i felt was accumulating under my very essense that i became the person i am today. A total idiot.lovely job as always feta cheese for not too bothered veggie people! bingo?

    Hi Rick, well done on your huge milestone, much deserved👏🏻. A quick note regarding Worcestershire sauce, you can buy a vegetarian version (without anchovies) it’s called Henderson relish, I buy mine in Lidl and I can’t taste the difference at all. I’ve been looking all over for a straight forward Caesar salad sauce, now I’ve found it…thank you, will be making this soon. Can the left over sauce be frozen? Take care, Gill X

    Having a huge salad this evening. Thanks for the suggestion! Croutons look fabulous! I can’t wait to make them . Ps. I have a favorite to ask you … is there any way one day you’ll make spotted dick? My late mother in law use to make it. I’ll tell you it’s been a good 30 years since we all have had it. I never learned or even have her recipe . Hey, the grands might even enjoy it too.
    Thanks Rik.
    All the best to you
