Directions
MAKES 6 SERVINGS LACTO
This dressing gets its tangy flavor from capers and garlic instead of the usual anchovies. Using low-fat ricotta and yogurt instead of oil keeps it creamy and light.
In blender, puree all ingredients except lettuce until smooth. Toss dressing with lettuce and garnish with additional capers and croutons if desired. Makes 2½ cups dressing or 6 cups dressed salad.
