Caesar Salad Dressing

Hold Onto Your Salad Forks, Babe!

Ever felt like your Caesar dressing was missing that bold zing and creamy je ne sais quoi? Buckle up, because we’re about to revolutionize your greens.

Picture this: a velvety, garlicky dressing that slithers over crisp romaine like a superstar’s satin gown. You’ll never go back to those sad, store-bought bottles after you whip up this homemade beauty. It’s quick, it’s decadent, and it’s begging for center-stage on your next salad—and maybe even your grilled veggies, chicken, or crusty bread.

Most people in my family do not like fish, but that’s what gives Caesar it’s delicious salty flavor. My mom and brother almost did not try it. It’s such a simple recipe and I would recommend making this. Zac thought it would be a delicious idea and it is one of my favorite salads even though I don’t like fish.

Cooking Tips

If you love a garlicky punch, finely mince one extra clove and mash it into a paste before blending.
For the silkiest texture, let your mayo and lemon juice come to room temperature first. Cold ingredients can make the dressing clumpy.
A dash of white wine vinegar can brighten it up if your lemon is on vacation.
Use a microplane to grate your Parm for uniform cheese clouds—no chunky surprises here.
If your processor is shy on power, blitz the garlic, fish sauce, and lemon first until super fine, then add the rest.
