Quick Caesar Dressing Recipe
Description
The Quick Caesar Dressing Recipe blends mayonnaise with freshly shredded Parmesan and bright lemon juice to establish a creamy base with tang. Anchovy paste adds the savory depth traditional to Caesar dressing, complemented by the pungency of minced garlic and the slight sharpness of Dijon mustard. Seasoned with salt and black pepper, these ingredients come together when mixed, creating a balanced dressing.
This dressing can be used right away but is suggested to rest in the refrigerator for around 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. It stores well in a sealed container for up to ten days, making it easy to prepare ahead. It pairs well with crisp romaine lettuce, croutons, and proteins such as grilled chicken or shrimp for a classic Caesar salad.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup mayonnaise neutral-flavored
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 5 tablespoons lemon juice fresh is best!
- 1 tablespoon anchovy paste
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- 1 teapoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Add the ingredients in a small bowl.
- Mix well then either use right away or (ideally) let the dressing rest in the fridge for 20 minutes for the flavors to blend.
- Store the dressing in your fridge in a sealed jar for up to 10 days.
