This recipe is part of my classic salad dressing collection, which includes go-to recipes for oil and vinegar based dressings, like vinaigrette and balsamic vinaigrette, as well as creamy dressings, such as buttermilk ranch dressing and blue cheese dressing, which are typically made with mayonnaise and dairy products.
Flavorful and delicious dressing! Made the recipe exactly as posted and it was perfect! I did add a small (very small) amount of water to slightly thin the dressing and it did not impact the taste at all. Husband raved about how good it was. Another successful Jenn Segal recipe!

This has been my go-to recipe for caesar dressing most of 2022, so simple to whip up. I love the lemon and anchovies and use a generous portion of each. I use an olive oil mayo (no canola for me), It actually has me more excited to eat greens because its so zippy!
The homemade croutons: Tear your bread instead of cutting it (we like a rustic country sourdough, but any sturdy loaf works). The shaggy edges that result from ripping bread into bite-size pieces will hold on to the creamy dressing (and make the salad more dynamic to eat).
Chop together anchovy fillets, garlic, and pinch of salt. Use the side of a knife blade to mash into a paste, then scrape into a medium bowl. Whisk in egg yolks, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, and mustard. Adding drop by drop to start, gradually whisk in olive oil, then vegetable oil; whisk until dressing is thick and glossy. Whisk in Parmesan. Season with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired.

Vegan caesar salad dressing: Substitute the egg and oil for vegan mayonnaise (1/2 to 1 cup) and replace the anchovies with a tablespoon or so of minced capers. Hummus or tahini are also excellent bases for the dressing. You should also leave out the parmesan cheese.
Homemade Caesar dressing is simple to make and can be done a few different ways: by hand, in a blender, in a food processor or by using an immersion blender. All methods are simple and quick. I particularly love doing this by hand and enjoy seeing little bits of the garlic and anchovy in the dressing.
Adding drop by drop to start and whisking constantly, drizzle a few drops of oil into yolk mixture. Continue, going slowly, until mixture looks slightly thickened and glossy. Continue to whisk, gradually adding oil in a slow, steady stream until all oil has been used and mixture looks like mayonnaise. Add a dash of water and whisk, adjusting with more water if needed, until dressing is the consistency of heavy cream. Add anchovy mixture and Parmesan and whisk until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, if needed.
Dressing is one of the best ways to add flavor, you can put dressings on so many things besides salad too. Try these dressings on what ever you desire, from chicken, to wraps, and marinades. Greek Salad Dressing, Avocado Ranch Dressing, and Cilantro Lime Dressing.
In my younger days while working my way through school, I worked as a waitress in a rather nice Dinner house. I loved when someone ordered the Caesar Salad because I got to roll the salad cart out and do a little table side show making the dressing. Your recipe is spot on, the only difference is we used a coddled egg, still raw but I think it made people feel better seeing the egg come out a bowl of hot water. ?
This homemade Caesar salad dressing has the perfect balance between salty, acidic, and umami flavors. It's incredibly easy to make with just a handful of ingredients and it's ready in just five minutes. Once you've had homemade Caesar dressing, you won't go back to store-bought dressing again.
Homemade Caesar salad dressing is best when consumed immediately on the day it's made. I recommend prepping your lettuce in advance and making the dressing right before serving as it only takes 5 minutes to make.
Traditional blender or food processor option: You can also use a standard-sized traditional blender or food processor to blend the dressing. But since the portion size for a single batch is so small (and may not blend well in these larger appliances), I would recommend doubling or tripling the recipe to help it blend well.
This Caesar dressing is anchovy-free, which makes it suitable for vegetarians like me and anyone with a shellfish allergy. (Technically, anchovies are fish, but they are likely to cause reactions in those with shellfish allergies.) It will also appeal to anyone who is sensitive to anchovy flavor. This dressing offers bold, classic Caesar flavor, without the anchovies!
This easy Caesar dressing recipe yields classic Caesar flavor. This simple mayonnaise-based recipe is anchovy-free as long as you choose your Worcestershire sauce carefully (see recipe note). Recipe yields about cup, enough for 6 side salads (use 10 ounces romaine lettuce).
Thank you for this delicious and quick dressing. I was a little apprehensive to do a dressing with Mayo instead of egg yolks but this was very impressive! I did add an extra teaspoon of Worcestershire and of lemon juice. I also added some crushed red pepper for a little extra spice. Again this recipe is perfect!!
Try making an amazing Caesar salad by serving this best Caesar dressing with some homemade garlic croutons, plenty of romaine lettuce, parmesan cheese, grilled chicken, and freshly cracked black pepper.
I have never liked store bought dressing. I only use sherry vinegar and olive oil. I saw this recipe and Gabe it a try, my oh my I have become a convert. The only ingredient i exchanged for the anchovies is I added a tablespoon of capers I had none at home. This is a keeper. Delicious
Love this recipe for Caesar Dressing! I make it all the time as soon as the jar is empty. It is wonderfully rich and creamy on my salads, and I feel as though I am eating at a 5-star restaurant.
If you have been avoiding Caesar salad dressing as I did, give this version a try. It's super quick and uses household staple ingredients (mayo, Dijon, Parmesan, Worcestershire, lemon, salt & pepper). All that great flavor without the anchovies!
Your homemade Caesar salad dressing without anchovies can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to one week. However, I prefer to use my dressing within the first few days and by day 3 at a maximum for best flavor.
I was searching for a Caesar dressing recipe that used worsteshire rather than anchovy paste as I DO have an anaphylaxic reaction to fish and shellfish and yet I have been able to eat the worsteshire. I believe it is because, in our house, we use such small amounts of worsteshire in anything. I LOVE grilled chicken Caesar. Just a thought for someone with a more minor fish allergy.
In the 1970s, Cardini's daughter said that the original recipe included whole lettuce leaves, which were meant to be lifted by the stem and eaten with the fingers; coddled eggs; and garlic infused olive oil.[7] Everyone makes the dressing a little differently and anchovy paste is sometimes added with Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard and garlic to enhance the flavor of the olive oil. Several sources have testified that the original recipe used only Worcestershire sauce without any anchovies, which Cardini considered too bold in flavor.[9]
Although the original recipe does not contain anchovies, modern recipes typically include anchovies as a key ingredient, which frequently is emulsified in bottled versions.[10] Bottled Caesar dressings are now produced and marketed by many companies.
There is inherent risk of infection by salmonella bacteria occasionally found in raw egg from cracked or improperly handled eggshells where the protective cuticle is damaged.[16][17] Updated recipes recommend eggs that are briefly heated to 160 degrees or pasteurized eggs. Some variations of the dressing may use other substitutions for egg.
This is really good. I messed with the proportions because I only had about 1/4 c yogurt. Seasoned to my personal tastes. Had leftover grilled chicken, homemade croutons and pepitas. It made a delicious salad for lunch, Thanks for sharing this dressing recipe. I will make it often.
Can this salad be made ahead? All components can be made ahead of time. Store chopped washed lettuce, parmesan cheese, and prepared Caesar dressing the fridge for several days or more. Prepared croutons can be stored at room temperature for a few days, or even frozen for a month or more. Combine all salad ingredients just before serving.
We came across this Caesar salad dressing recipe a couple of weeks ago and we have not stopped eating it since. It is one of the best we have had! Definitely saved this recipes for all my future salads.
A good caesar salad is one of my all-time favorite foods, but there are a lot of ways that caesar dressing can miss the mark for me - an overly fishy bite or dressing that looks and tastes like straight mayonnaise can immediately kill the good-caesar vibes.
One of the best caesar salads I've ever had comes from a restaurant in my hometown. The dressing is more of a silky vinaigrette than a traditional creamy caesar, which is exactly what I was trying to replicate with this recipe.
PARMESANOne of my favorite things about this homemade caesar dressing is the parmesan in it. You'll use 4 ounces of parmesan diced from a block of cheese (don't use pre-shredded!), and it goes into the food processor with the rest of the ingredients. By the time everything is blended, the parmesan will be in tiny pieces that are SO satisfying on crisp romaine.
ANCHOVY PASTEDon't skip the anchovy paste! I'm of the opinion that it's one of the grossest ingredients to exist on grocery store shelves and am HIGHLY sensitive to overly-fishy bites, but you just can't get the caesar flavor right without it. Know that I went to great lengths of testing to find out just how little I could get away with using to still get the flavor right. 2ff7e9595c
