Homemade Caesar Dressing
Homemade rich and creamy Caesar dressing. It's perfectly balanced, not overly fishy, or garlicky, and once you make it you'll never buy store-bought Caesar dressing ever again!
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 4 anchovy fillets minced then mashed
- 2 cloves garlic mashed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
Instructions
- If using anchovy paste, then whisk everything in a bowl until well combined. If using anchovy fillets, then place all of the ingredients in a food processor.
- Blend until you get a creamy and smooth Caesar dressing.
Notes
- Store homemade Caesar dressing in a sealed container, jar, or bottle for up to a week.
- You can either use mayonnaise or a mix of mayo and Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
- I normally use anchovy fillets as they result in a better flavor, but anchovy paste is also great. Use two teaspoons. If you're not a fan of anchovies, then you can substitute the fish with 1-2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce. For a vegetarian version, leave the anchovies out.
- High-quality cheese is what will take this dressing to the next level. Try to find cheese that is labeled as Parmigiano Reggiano rather than just Parmesan.
