Creamy Caesar Dressing Recipe

Creamy Caesar Dressing – the best homemade salad dressing. The flavor is spot on and no anchovies are needed! You will never buy it in a store again.

Homemade salad dressings are the best and so easy to make, just like my Italian Salad Dressing and Honey Lime Dressing.

Homemade salad dressings are one of my favorite homemade recipes to make. Forget the store-bought kind, grab fresh ingredients and a blender (or a mini food processor) and make a jar of homemade dressing that is absolutely delicious, just like my Italian Salad Dressing. It comes together in a jar! This Creamy Caesar Dressing is spot on when it comes to the flavor and texture. It’s creamy and tangy, just like a classic Ceasar dressing is supposed to be. This dressing is gluten-free if you use GF Worcestershire sauce and can be made vegan by using vegan mayo and Parmesan or nutritional yeast. Make a jar and drizzle over the Perfect Caesar Salad!

Ingredients:

A classic Caesar dressing is made with

• lemon juice,
• olive oil,
• egg,
• Worcestershire sauce,
• anchovies,
• garlic,
• Dijon mustard,
• Parmesan cheese,
• salt and pepper

I substituted the egg with mayonnaise and skipped anchovies as the Worcestershire sauce gives it just the right amount of the typical Caesar dressing flavor. I am not a fan of anchovies and would not want to buy the paste just for one recipe.

Instructions:

• Start by gathering all of the ingredients.
• Add all to a blender jar or mini food processor bowl and blend until creamy and smooth.
• Slowly add olive oil and blend. Add Parmesan cheese and blend well.
• Your salad dressing is ready to be served or you can store it in a jar with lid in your fridge for up to 1 week.

How to make it without anchovies?

I personally do not like anchovies and I didn’t use them in this recipe. The taste is still perfect thanks to the Worcestershire sauce.
