Low Calorie Caesar Salad Dressing With Shrimp
posted September 5, 2004
From the Farmer's Market: Teresa Snively (Jessie Sosnicki's mother) introduced us to her salad dressing, served on Ted Thorpe's lettuce when the park staff went to visit Sosnicki's farm for a barbecue. This is what Teresa wrote when we asked her for the recipe:
"I was kind of surprised when I went to pick up my jar from Jessie's and almost every bit of the salad dressing was gone!
I'm very happy you all liked it so much - I have been known to hurt people with the strength of the garlic in my dressings/recipes so I try and be careful.
I have no idea where I got this recipe - likely from the internet - what a treasure trove I find there - I usually write down where I get them from but not this time. I get a lot of recipes from the TV Guide - so maybe it even came from there.
This recipe actually came, as you can see, also as a marinade for shrimp, to then grill and serve on the salad. I've made it with the shrimp and it is ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIOUS!!! I doubled this recipe and added a bit of water to make the 500 ml jar that I brought along to Jessie's."

LOW CALORIE CAESAR SALAD DRESSING WITH SHRIMP
In food processor:
mince 2 large cloves garlic then add:
1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese (1% is great) (I didn't have cottage cheese on Sun so I used fat free sour cream)
1/4 cup low fat mayonnaise (I didn't have it so I used 1/2 miracle whip and 1/2 Hellmans - I usually like to make mayonnaise from scratch but was in a hurry)
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 tsp. Worchestershire Sauce
1 Tablespoon of your favorite oil
2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground pepper
Puree until smooth. (After standing a while it may get very thick so I usually always add some water just before serving to make it the consistancy that I need it to be.)
Serve on one romaine lettuce with the bitter centre of the leaves out and ripped small with bacon bits and homemade croutons.
Some shrimp that have been marinated in a bit of this dressing for 30 minutes and then just grilled until done (about 1 1/2 min per side) are wonderful on this salad.
