Homemade Caesar Dressing
Caesar dressing is a popular and versatile dressing commonly used in salads. There will be no need to buy the bottled dressing after making it for the first time homemade! It can be used beyond salads as a dip for veggies, a spread for sandwiches, or even as a marinade for grilled chicken. It's no wonder it's so popular today.
Ingredients
- 3 garlic cloves pressed, grated, or finely minced
- 2 tsp anchovy paste
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup grated Parmigiano-reggiano cheese
- ¼ - ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the garlic, anchovy paste, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Whisk in the mayonnaise, Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt, and pepper. Adjust the ingredients to your liking, if needed.
- Serve immediately or let it sit in the fridge overnight to let the flavors meld together.
Notes
Storage: Keep in an airtight mason jar or container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Do not freeze this! It will separate and won't be good anymore.
