directions
- To make the dressing, puree the buttermilk, mayo, lemon juice, oil, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, anchovies, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender. Add 2 T of the cheese and blend until combined.
- If you choose to make a traditional Caesar you will need: 1 (16-or18-ounce package romaine hearts, cut into bit-size pieces. 1/2 cup fat-free Caesar-seasoned croutons.
- Place the romaine into a large bowl:add the dressing and toss to coat. Add the remaining 2 T of cheese and toss to combine. Divide the salad among 6 large plates and top with croutons. Serve at once.

Wow! Its so creamy and full of flavor that it's hard to believe that it has less than half the calories of regular caesar dressing... unless you told them, nobody would ever know! Another bonus is how quick and easy this was to throw together, and it tastes so much better than the bottled stuff. This recipe will be one that I use often! Going strait to the keeper file! Thanks so much for sharing such a great recipe!
