Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe
Description
The Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe combines fresh lemon juice with Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and anchovy paste to provide characteristic savory elements. Mayonnaise and olive oil contribute creaminess and body, while grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese adds sharp, salty notes. Salt and black pepper season the dressing to taste.
Whisking the ingredients together produces a smooth, thick dressing that coats leafy greens evenly. The flavor is tangy, garlicky, and umami-rich, suited for classic Caesar salads and adaptable to other salad variations.
If anchovy paste is omitted, the dressing remains flavorful though lacking some traditional umami depth. Refrigerate the dressing until ready to use, and toss with salad just before serving to maintain crispness.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon anchovy paste
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese grated
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- To make the dressing, in a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, Worcestershire, garlic, and anchovy paste. Add mayo, olive oil, cheese, salt, and pepper and whisk until combined. Store in the refrigerator until ready to toss with your salad.
Notes
- Anchovy paste can be omitted if preferred; the dressing will still be tasty but less savory.
