Caesar Salad Dressing

A rich and tangy dressing that is perfect for your Caesar salads.

Caesar Salad Dressing

  • Servings: Makes 1-1/3 cups (enough for about 10 starter salads)

The combination of garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, Worcestershire and Parmesan makes a creamy emulsion with bright, savory umami flavor. Drizzle this Caesar dressing over chopped romaine lettuce for an easy yet impressive salad.

Ingredients

  • 2 small garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp anchovy paste (found near the canned tuna in the supermarket)
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, from one lemon
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (I like the brand Maille)
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup mayonnaise, best quality such as Hellmann’s Real
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, anchovy paste, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Add the mayonnaise, Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt and pepper and whisk until well combined.
  • Taste and adjust to your liking. The dressing will keep well in the fridge for about a week.
