Made this last week and loved it! I’m going to food prep it again for this week. Great recipe!

This was fantastic! The only change I made to the dressing was the addition of chopped capers. It gave the dressing the characteristic umami that Caesar dressing has.

I love this, the dressing is amazing and thick! Next time I would do 2 cans of chickpeas for a better chickpea/pasta ratio. The fresh farmers market kale goes wonderfully with the dressing. I used trader joes gf brown rice quinoa fusilli.

This is our favorite caesar pasta salad! Made with my homemade greek yogurt caesar dressing, it's a simple dish that can be a great starter salad, side dish or main base for chicken, steak, seafood or chickpeas. Super flavorful and easy too!

unsalted butter

romaine lettuce

kosher salt and pepper

garlic cloves, (minced)

greek yogurt

red wine vinegar

½ lemon, (juiced)

Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add in the sourdough pieces with a pinch of salt. Cook, tossing often, until they are golden and toasty and crisp. Turn off the heat.

Place the romaine in a large bowl and toss with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of the caesar dressing. Add in the finely grated parmesan. Toss the lettuce well so everything is coated. Add in the cooked pasta and toss it well, adding more dressing if you would like. Toss until everything is combined and well coated.

Top with the shaved parmesan and the sourdough croutons. Serve with extra dressing and more parmesan cheese. You can use this as a base salad for chicken, steak, salmon, chickpeas, etc.

To make the dressing, add the garlic, yogurt, parmesan, mustard, vinegar, anchovy paste, lemon juice, salt and pepper to a food processor or blender and blend until pureed. With the processor still on, stream in the olive oil until a creamy dressing forms. (This may make more dressing than needed, but you can store it sealed in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days and stir well before using.)

greek yogurt caesar dressing

Literally the best Caesar I’ve ever had

This was so delicious! However next time I'll only do 2 garlic cloves in the dressing 4 was way too overpowering... but my new go to salad!!!

We loved this! I made chicken thighs to go with it and it was perfect for the whole family. The dressing is great!

I wasn't sure what to expect from this but it was really good! I know from making the dressing previously that I find the dressing to be too acidic so I cut back on the vinegar and the lemon juice and its perfect. Also subbed gluten free pasta and leftout the croutons.
