Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, pickle juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic cloves, freshly ground black pepper, and optional salt until smooth and well blended.
Adjust Consistency and Flavor: After whisking, taste the dressing and decide if you want it richer. If so, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and whisk again. Adjust seasoning by adding additional salt, pepper, or a squeeze more lemon juice according to your preference.
Store Properly: Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for up to 6 days. Use it as a healthier alternative on Caesar salads, chicken Caesar pasta salads, crispy salmon Caesar salad, or buffalo chicken Caesar wraps.

Notes

Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; you can mince it finely or use a garlic press.
Pickle juice adds a unique tangy depth; if unavailable, substitute with a splash of apple cider vinegar.
Adjust olive oil quantity to control the richness and caloric content.
Store in a sealed container and consume within 6 days for optimal freshness.
Perfect as a low-fat, protein-rich Caesar dressing alternative for health-conscious diets.
