INSTRUCTIONS
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 2 1/2 cups dressing or 6 cups dressed salad.
