Easy Caesar Dressing Recipe

This easy Caesar Dressing is rich, creamy, and delicious. A restaurant-quality Caesar salad dressing recipe made at home and ready in minutes!

Caesar dressing is quick and easy to make at home and tastes much better than the store-bought bottled option. It and the crunchy croutons give a Caesar salad its amazing flavor!

While traditional Caesar dressing is made with olive oil and raw eggs, my recipe is mayonnaise-based. This makes it super simple to whisk together in minutes, lasts longer in the refrigerator, and allows those with egg sensitivities to enjoy it.

Caesar Dressing Ingredients

Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.

• Mayonnaise – My recipe is mayonnaise-based, allowing it to store longer in the refrigerator and making it easier to make. You can also substitute with your favorite Greek yogurt if preferred.
• Lemon juice – I recommend using fresh lemon juice if possible. The lemon juice brightens the dressing.
• Anchovy paste – My recipe uses anchovy paste rather than whole anchovy filets. This allows the dressing to whisk together more quickly and easily. If you prefer to use whole anchovy filets, add the anchovy filets and garlic to a food processor to make your own paste. Then, proceed with the recipe. You can omit the anchovy paste or anchovies if you prefer not to include them.
• Dijon mustard – Adds a slightly tangy bite and depth of flavor to the dressing.
• Worcestershire sauce – It also adds a depth of flavor to the dressing. Substitute with coconut aminos if sensitive to soy.
• Seasoning – The recipe calls for fresh garlic, salt, and pepper. You can substitute a teaspoon of Stone House Seasoning (my favorite house seasoning blend!).
• Parmesan cheese – I add finely shredded Parmesan cheese to my dressing. You can also add more for serving!

How to Make Caesar Dressing Recipe

Caesar dressing comes together quickly with a whisk and a bowl! Here’s how I make it.

1. Add all of the ingredients, except the Parmesan cheese, to a mixing bowl. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
2. Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Serve or store.
