Light Caesar Dressing Recipe {No Egg}
Amazing recipe for a classic dressing! This Light homemade Caesar Dressing is made with non-fat Greek yogurt and has no raw eggs in it. It is so delicious, you will be eating Caesar Salads for a week straight!
Caesar dressing is my second favorite dressing out there. I love it and I could eat a Caesar salad every day.
(Ranch is my absolute favorite, of course. Ranch is the bomb and I could eat it with just about anything!)
Caesar is one of those salads that I really want to have when I’m at a restaurant but, since it’s normally a more fattening dressing choice, I make the smart choice and go with a light vinaigrette instead. Once in a while, it’s good to be bad though. But, in order for me not to feel too bad, I came up with my own light version of Caesar.
This dressing tastes absolutely amazing and does not lack any flavor at all. Instead of mayo, I used non-fat Greek yogurt and there are no raw eggs.
I know that traditional Caesar Dressing is made with egg yolks but personally, I prefer not to eat raw eggs if I can help it. So if you are looking for a traditional Caesar, this is not it. This is a better one!
It is an easy (super easy, actually) and light version! Don’t be thrown off by the light either because, as I mentioned above, there is no compromising on flavor for less calories in this dressing!
As far as adding anchovies…I like it in Caesar but of you don’t, just skip it. Anchovies can be optional and so as deciding whether to use anchovy fillets or paste.
So go ahead, give it a try! Trust me, it will not disappoint!

Thank you for this yummy dressing without egg!!!
I am so glad you liked it!
I’ve just made this and it is DELICIOUS! How long does it keep in a mason jar in the fridge?
Hi Amilia,
You can keep it in a mason jar or a container with a tight lid for 3-5 days.
This is great – I would love to know the calories
Very good recipe. I cut down on the amount of oil and it was just fine.
Can this dressing be made a few days ahead of time and stored in the fridge?
Hi Sarah!
I’m so sorry for a late response. Yes, you can store the dressing in the refrigerator, in an air-tight container. I wouldn’t store it for more than a week though.
Thank you!
I just found this on pinterest. A few years late. Love caeser but not the calories. I made this without the anchovies because I didn’t have any. It is so good. I can’t wait to have it for dinner. Thx!
Thank you so much, Mary! I hope you find more recipes you like on here!

Hi Trudi! I will let you know the calorie count soon!
Thank you!
I like that you chose to an anchovy. I’ve learned they add a really nice flavor.
They really do, Lisa! I feel like they make Caesar what it is 🙂
Thank you!
