Homemade Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing
Description
The Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing uses a base of mayonnaise for smoothness combined with fresh pressed garlic, lemon juice for acidity, Dijon mustard for sharpness, and Worcestershire sauce to add depth. Grated Parmesan cheese contributes a salty, umami character, and black pepper and salt adjust the seasoning.
The ingredients are whisked together until well emulsified, producing a thick dressing that clings to lettuce leaves. Mixing these elements evenly balances rich, tangy, and savory notes essential to a Caesar salad. The dressing is chilled to let flavors meld before serving.
This dressing is classic for Caesar salads but can also be used as a dip or spread when a creamy, garlicky flavor is desired. It pairs best with crisp romaine lettuce and croutons.
