Most Delicious Caesar Dressing
Description
The Most Delicious Caesar Dressing starts with blending lemon juice, anchovies, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, onion powder, and freshly ground black pepper until smooth. Adding mayonnaise and freshly grated Parmesan cheese creates a creamy texture with a rich umami flavor. The dressing’s tanginess comes from the lemon and mustard, while the anchovies impart a subtle savoriness that melts seamlessly into the sauce.
Its smooth consistency and balanced flavors make it ideal for classic Caesar salads, complementing crisp romaine and croutons. It also works well as a dip for vegetables or a spread on sandwiches.
The recommended storage is up to five days in the refrigerator. Using fresh anchovies will yield the best flavor and texture, but anchovy paste can be substituted as needed. Chilling before serving helps meld the flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 2 anchovies see note below, in oil
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- Blend the first set of ingredients. Add add the lemon juice, anchovies, garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, onion powder, and pepper to a small food processor, and blend until smooth.
- Blend again. Add the mayonnaise and parmesan, then blend again until well combined.
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Prefer fresh anchovies for a smooth, non-fishy flavor; anchovy paste is a suitable substitute.
- Store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to five days to maintain freshness.
