The secret ingredient is always cheese
Every healthy diet, or rather lifestyle, involves a decent intake of salads, as in, all those greens and veggies, that is just so incredibly hard to follow. And when you see a Caesar salad, with those yummy croutons, rich mayo dressing… it’s easy enough to convince yourself that it counts as a salad.
I personally crave cheese – of every kind! And this dressing is the perfect way to combat your craving.
So instead of reaching out for a sinful bowl of mayo-based salad, I make a homemade yogurt based dressing, which is easy on the hips, yet lip-smacking yummy!
The base is a buttermilk, made from thick yogurt and water, some lovely parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, and a good amount of lemon juice; for an added kick, some minced garlic and herbs. You will be left licking your lips!
The salad can include whatever you want, even spinach, as this dressing will mask anything unpleasant to your taste buds.
I also sometimes add homemade croutons – basically a well toasted multigrain bread, topped with some flavoured butter.
About:
If you are using boxed Parmesan cheese, then leave out the salt as the Parmesan already is quite salty. Pepper is a must!
Salad options are just a few ideas of what you can add, not necessarily all together.
