Light Caesar Dressing

By substituting just a couple of light items in this recipe for the usual high-fat ones, we get all the great gusto of Caesar dressing, but with a lot less fat.

What You'll Need

1 cup light mayonnaise
3/4 cup low-fat milk
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

What to Do

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk until smooth and creamy. Use immediately or store in refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to use.

Makes about 2 cups.

Notes

Toss with your favorite salad greens or make a quick and light Caesar salad by tossing this dressing with torn romaine lettuce and croutons. (And you can make some quick croutons by cutting day-old bread into 1-inch cubes, tossing with some garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, and toasting in a 300 degree F. oven until golden brown.)

Hi there! Eating the skins of cucumbers is okay. Just make sure to wash properly. There are vegetable sprays and vegetable scrub brushes now in stores to make cleaning vegetables easier.
