Instructions

  • Using a hand blender, blend the cottage cheese until very smooth.
  • Juice the lemon and combine all of the ingredients into a medium bowl.
  • Use a hand blender to mix into a smooth consistency.
  • Add salt & pepper to taste.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best flavor and creamy texture. Nonfat Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute, but it won’t be as rich.
  • Store in an airtight container like a mason jar to keep it fresh for up to 5 days in the fridge.
  • For extra zing, add a little lemon zest or a touch more worcestershire sauce.
  • If you want a thinner dressing, add a splash of water or more fresh lemon juice to reach your desired consistency.
  • Make it dairy-free by swapping out the parmesan for nutritional yeast and using a dairy-free cottage cheese alternative.
  • Pair with homemade croutons and romaine lettuce for the best way to enjoy a classic Caesar salad at home.
