Authentic Caesar Salad Dressing

Now I know what you might be thinking…Anchovies? Gross! But trust me the only way to really get that incredible authentic Caesar flavor is to use Anchovies. They provide that briny blast of goodness and that rich umami flavor. Umami literally means pleasant savory taste, which is exactly what the anchovies provide. You don’t want to leave it out.

This is luscious, velvety smooth and tangy. It will really elevate your Caesar recipes. Knowing what’s in your dressing always brings peace of mind too. It’s so easy to throw together, you won’t buy from the store again.

Caesar Dressing Ingredients:

This is so good you’ll want to keep these ingredients on hand.

  • Anchovies in oil– Don’t be scared of anchovies, they are the authentic impeccable umami flavor of Caesar dressing. It’s a must have. Don’t worry it won’t be fishy. You can do this!
  • Garlic Cloves-Fresh garlic will give the best flavor.
  • Lemon Juice-recommend fresh lemon juice but if you don’t have it lemon juice from a bottle will work
  • Dijon Mustard-It’s another essential ingredient to giving the dressing it’s classic flavor.
  • Olive Oil– Olive oil mixes smoothly in dressings.
  • Parmesan Cheese-Use grated parmesan for easy mixing.
  • Pepper-Add just to taste

Tips for the Best Caesar Dressing:

  • Anchovies– These are usually found in the canned fish aisle of your store and sold in glass jars or flat tins. If you don’t really want to use the fillet you can sub for anchovy paste. 1 anchovy fillet equals 1/2 teaspoon of anchovy paste. It will give a slightly different flavor, but still works.
  • Capers– Still can’t do the anchovies? You can use capers instead, still not quite the same flavor but it will work. Start with 2 Tablespoons of capers and a splash of Worcestershire Sauce. Add more to taste.
  • Egg Yolks– If you are worried about the raw egg or you’re pregnant be sure to use pasteurized eggs or you can use mayonnaise.  Substitute 1 Tablespoon of mayo fo reach egg yolk.

Storing Salad Dressing:

  • Fridge– Because of the egg yolk in this dressing it needs to be refrigerated immediately if not using right away. This will keep up to 3 days.
