Ingredients

DRESSING½

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon milk
½ tablespoon lemon juice
½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 small garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper to taste
1 large head romaine lettuce
garlic croutons, optional
Parmesan cheese for serving, optional

Instructions

Combine all dressing ingredients to a small bowl or mason jar; whisk together. Taste and adjust seasoning. Refrigerate for an hour. This step is optional, but I found it developed better flavors.
Tear or chop the romaine into bite sized pieces and place into a large bowl. Pour dressing over the top and toss to combine. Top with optional croutons and extra Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes

If you feel it is missing the flavor of classic caesar salad dressing, add a small amount of Worcestershire. It contains anchovies which will give it that umami flavor.
Nutrition isn't calculated using croutons or extra parmesan for serving.
