Caesar Salad Dressing: Creamy, Garlicky & Restaurant-Quality in Minutes

Make a bold, silky Caesar Salad Dressing at home—rich with Parmesan, bright lemon, a whisper of anchovy, and that signature garlic kick. This classic, umami-packed dressing clings perfectly to crisp romaine and turns simple greens into a crave-worthy main.

Choose the traditional route with egg yolk and olive oil, or go weeknight-easy with a mayonnaise base. A dash of Worcestershire ties it all together, while freshly cracked pepper adds heat and depth.

  • Pairs with: romaine hearts, grilled chicken or shrimp, crunchy croutons, shaved Parmesan
  • Flavor profile: creamy, citrusy, savory, gently briny with anchovy umami
  • Make-ahead: keeps 3–4 days chilled in a sealed jar; shake before serving

Tip: Emulsify slowly—add oil in a thin stream while whisking—to get that luxurious, spoon-coating texture every time.
