Ingredients for Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Fresh Garlic
  • Anchovies
  • Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Hot Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

How to Make Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing

  1. Combine all ingredients EXCEPT olive oil in a blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the dressing emulsifies and thickens.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lemon juice for extra tang or anchovy paste for a stronger savory flavor.
  5. Serve immediately over crisp romaine lettuce, homemade croutons, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
