LOW-FAT CAESAR SALAD DRESSING
This is my sister-in-law's recipe. Technically, it's missing a few things that would make it a proper Caesar salad, but for a low-fat alternative, it's very good. She uses non-fat mayo, and omits the anchovy paste.

Steps:
- Whisk first 10 ingredients together well and set aside so the flavors can develop for 15 minutes. Dry off scallops and sear off in a little olive oil, a minute on one side, 30 seconds on the other side -- you don't want to overcook them! Toss lettuce with croutons and parmesan cheese. Top with scallops.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh herbs, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese will give your dressing the best flavor.
- Don't over-blend the dressing. A few pulses in a blender or food processor is all you need to combine the ingredients. Over-blending will make the dressing too thick.
- Taste the dressing before serving. Adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- Use the dressing immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Serve the dressing over a salad of your choice. Caesar salad is a classic, but you can also use it on grilled chicken, fish, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
This low-fat Caesar salad dressing is a delicious and healthy way to dress up your favorite salads. It's made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it comes together in just a few minutes. So next time you're looking for a light and flavorful dressing, give this recipe a try.
