Easy Caesar Dressing is creamy and delicious! A restaurant-style caesar salad dressing made at home!
There are a few salad dressings that absolutely make a salad. Take caesar salad for example. I remember during a trip into Atlanta when I was in elementary school, Mama took my sister and me to a restaurant for lunch. The restaurant’s house salad was a Caesar salad that they served as soon as you were seated at your table.
As a bright eyed, sassy little thing, I looked up at the waitress and said, “May I please have ranch dressing with my salad?”
Have mercy.
The sweet waitress just looked at me with a smile and said, “Honey, if you try that salad as is and do not like it, I promise I’ll bring you whatever dressing you want.” Needless to say, I didn’t need to ask her for another dressing after all. Ha ha!
That made a very memorable moment in my Caesar salad and Caesar dressing evolution!
Now, I prefer to make my own Caesar dressing at home. It only takes a jiffy and I know every one of the handful of ingredients that I use for it.
Seriously, it has to be one of the fastest dressing recipes in my arsenal and one that I turn to time and time again. This recipe does not use raw eggs, making it last longer in the refrigerator and safe for those with egg sensitivities to still be able to enjoy!
I’ve also included the option to use Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise in my recipe. I recommend that you use whichever mayonnaise or Greek yogurt you prefer to eat.
Here’s my Caesar Dressing Recipe. I hope you love it as much as we do!

Since finding this recipe, I’ve never used anything else. It’s really easy to make and so, so good.
Thanks so much, Jill. So glad you like this dressing.
I am actually sorry I haven’t dropped a review. I started making this about 1 & a half yrs ago and I’ve never looked back! I have always been very picky about Caesar dressing but this One is fool proof and delicious every time, everyone I make it everyone raves about “my Caesar”! Thank you!!!!!
Thank you so much, Bonni! I’m thrilled this recipe has worked so well for you for so long.
I made this dressing and my daughter really liked it. I make it all the time now. I no longer buy store salad dressings.
Thanks, Diann. I’m glad you and your daughter like this dressing. I like it so much better than the commercial ones, too.
Soo good and easy!!!
This is the BEST! I’ve used recipes with coddled eggs and this one knocks all of them out of the park! We also throw some anchovies on the salad and BINGO! I try to keep some of this in the fridge at all times
This is my go-to recipe for caesar salad dressing, so delicious, I highly recommend trying it (there may or may not be a batch in the fridge right now for my dinner salad lol)
This is a very tasty dressing coming from a person who HATES salad dressings.
I did read some comments about it being salty well yeah it is a little salty but the ingredients pretty much give this away just reduce or leave out the additional salt like I did and it was still perfect. I also went full on Mayo because greek yogurt is another HATE and not happening I can’t stomach yogurt of any kind and it makes dressing watery.
Grace, try kosher salt. It does not taste as salty as regular table salt.
I love this dressing, I added a touch more lemon, because I love lemon, didn’t need it. So easy and made with ingredients I always have on hand! A new go to!
Thanks, Lisa. I’m so glad you love this dressing.
Just had this for dinner. Quick, easy, and VERY GOOD! Thank you!
DonnaT, I’m so glad you found this recipe so easy to make and loved it. Thanks!
