Protein Caesar Dressing
All hail Caesar. None of the fat that usually comes with the crown.
Salad-Bar Lore
Classic Caesar is basically emulsified oil with anchovy ambitions — delicious, and 150 calories before you've touched a single leaf. This one keeps the garlicky, Parmesan-savory backbone and lets protein, not oil, carry the weight. (Pulled out of the Crispy Chicken Caesar Panini page — it was too good to leave buried in a sandwich.)

The lever is the base: mostly nonfat Greek yogurt, a smaller hit of light mayo for that classic clingy richness. Real Parmesan stays — it's the whole flavor — but 40g across a full cup is a rounding error per serving. Net result versus bottled Caesar: ~100 calories and 13g of fat gone per 2 tbsp.
