Description

This homemade Caesar salad dressing is rich, creamy, and easy to make, featuring a delicious tangy and garlicky flavor. Perfect for tossing with salads, wraps, or as a versatile condiment, this dressing combines mayonnaise, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Parmesan cheese for an authentic and flavorful experience.

Ingredients

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Pinch sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a large liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, grated garlic, Worcestershire sauce, a pinch of sea salt, and several grinds of freshly ground black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Add Parmesan cheese: Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until fully combined, enhancing the dressing’s creamy texture and savory flavor.
  3. Adjust consistency: If the dressing appears too thick, slowly stir in water one teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency, ensuring it coats your salad ingredients perfectly.
  4. Season to taste: Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed for a balanced flavor.
  5. Serve and store: Use the dressing immediately on Caesar salad or wraps, or refrigerate in an airtight container or jar for up to 5 days to enjoy later.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese rather than pre-grated.
  • If you prefer a lighter dressing, substitute part of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • The dressing can be customized by adding anchovy paste for a more traditional Caesar taste.
  • Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator and consume within 5 days.
  • Adjust water quantity carefully to avoid thinning the dressing too much.
