This smoked salmon and avocado Caesar salad is very easy to prepare and can also be customized based on your preferences. You can omit the smoked salmon or use leftover grilled fish; you could also use soft boiled eggs or grilled shrimp/chicken.

The dressing is made with plain greek style yogurt – instead of mayonnaise. I did add a couple of anchovy fillets to the dressing, but feel free to omit them if you’re not fan, or try just one small fillet – the flavor will be very subtle. My kids, like most kids, don’t like anchovies, and actually didn’t even notice that I used them in the dressing.

  1. This was SSSOOO delicious! Substituted the parsley for fresh dill and yoghurt for sour cream! Was enjoyed by all! Thank you for sharing!

  2. I’ve made your dressing three times now, and it is a ready standby in my home. I keep romaine lettuce stocked,and with your dressing on standby,I always have a Caesars salad ready to go. All I have to do is decide on the protein. Thanks! ????
