"This WW recipe is unbelievable. I would pick this over any fatty salad dressing even if I didn't know it was core. My friend gave it to me out of a WW Book (Thanks, Dionne) and we can't stop raving about it! I would x's the recipe by 3 or 4, it keeps for 2 wks. in the refrig."

directions

To make the dressing, puree the buttermilk, mayo, lemon juice, oil, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, anchovies, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender. Add 2 T of the cheese and blend until combined.
If you choose to make a traditional Caesar you will need: 1 (16-or18-ounce package romaine hearts, cut into bit-size pieces. 1/2 cup fat-free Caesar-seasoned croutons.
Place the romaine into a large bowl:add the dressing and toss to coat. Add the remaining 2 T of cheese and toss to combine. Divide the salad among 6 large plates and top with croutons. Serve at once.

This was really good! Not quite as good as regular but still really tasty and I don't feel like I'm dieting when eating it. I also like how easy it is to throw together and that I have all of the ingredients on hand.

Wow! Its so creamy and full of flavor that it's hard to believe that it has less than half the calories of regular caesar dressing... unless you told them, nobody would ever know! Another bonus is how quick and easy this was to throw together, and it tastes so much better than the bottled stuff. This recipe will be one that I use often! Going strait to the keeper file! Thanks so much for sharing such a great recipe!

I really liked this. It was a little tangy for me so I added another tablespoon of buttermilk. I will make this again! Thanks.

Fantastic! I substituted no-fat yoghurt for for the mayo and it was still super tasty! - and fewer points.
