Homemade Caesar Dressing
Report
This homemade Caesar dressing is hands-down our favorite! It's thick, creamy, and full of flavor, perfect for a rockin' Caesar salad with all the fixin's.Recipe yields approx. 18 (2 TBSP) servings or about 1 + 1/4 cups of dressing. It's also crazy easy to double or triple to serve a large group. Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1-2 anchovies*
- 3 TBSP fresh lemon juice (approx. 1 + 1/2 large lemons)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup quality mayonnaise (homemade or store bought)
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese**
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- For a perfectly blended dressing, I highly suggest using an immersion blender or food processor. You'll simply combine all your dressing ingredients and blend well. To thin the dressing, add extra lemon juice as desired.
- You can also make the dressing with simply a bowl and a whisk by mashing then mincing your garlic and using anchovy paste in place of whole tinned anchovies. Easy peasy!
- You are totally welcome to add extra of your favorite ingredients. I suggest starting with the above recipe and tasting it with a few lettuce leaves, then adding a little of any particular ingredient you choose. Some opt for extra garlic, some prefer more anchovies or Worcestershire sauce, and some people (like myself) love extra lemon juice.

- Extra lemon juice may be added to thin the dressing to your desired consistency. As written this is a thick, creamy dressing. SO GOOD!
- * For this recipe I used 2 tinned anchovies and froze the remainder for the next batch of dressing I plan on making. We make this one a lot! You can also use anchovy paste if you keep that on hand (or score some at the store) and you'll simply use 1 tsp of paste. If you skip the anchovies altogether it won't have that traditional caesar flavor and will be more of a creamy parmesan dressing.
- ** Freshly grated, off the block/wedge, Pamigiano-Reggiano cheese is key here! A good quality parm will add more flavor to this delish dressing.
