Thread: Low-Calorie Caesar Salad Dressing

Salad dressings normally contain 80 calories per tablespoon, perhaps even more. I found this recipe at Chef 2 Chef.net and it's really low in calories. I haven't tried it yet but I will.

Ingredients

1/3 cup tofu
1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp anchovy paste; or anchovy
2 tbsp parmesan cheese; grated
1 pinch sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic; minced
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
1 pinch pepper

Instructions

Makes 1/2 cup

In small saucepan of simmering water, poach tofu for 2 minutes; drain, chop coarsely and let cool. In blender, blend lemon juice, mustard, garlic, anchovy, salt, sugar and pepper. With blender running, gradually add tofu, cheese and oil. Transfer to small jar and refrigerate, covered, for up to 2
days.
