Recipe: Lower-Fat Caesar Dressing

Lower-Fat Caesar Dressing

1/2 cup nonfat cottage cheese*
1/2 cup low fat ricotta*
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons grated parmesan*
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon drained capers

Place all the ingredients except the capers in a blender and process until smooth.

Stir in the capers. Refrigerate until ready for use.

*Note: The McDougall recipe calls for soft tofu instead of the cottage cheese and ricotta, and for soy Parmesan instead of dairy parmesan.

Makes 1 1/2 cups
