Key Ingredients

parmesan- freshly grated parmesan is a must. Try and buy a high quality parmesan if you can. Choose your preferred brand.

anchovy paste- you only need a little anchovy paste but the good news is it will keep in the fridge for a long time so you can make the recipe on a weekly rotation!

mayonnaise - The main element to help you create the dressing. Mayonnaise is perfect for this.

garlic - The familiar flavor of a Caesar dressing is garlic, and fresh garlic is a must for this recipe.

lemon - this is what will cut through all of the flavors of this dressing and balance everything out. Giving that fresh citrus twist.

mustard - I love using mustard in my dressings and it works well with this recipe. I used stone ground which adds a nice texture.

salt and pepper - seasoning is a must for this dressing.

Worcestershire sauce -The flavor works so well with all of the other ingredients and gives that tanginess we all know and love.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and use a whisk to combine. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Dressing will keep for about 1 week.

Serving Suggestions

• Typically this salad dressing is served with a Caesar salad. I have a recipe for a delicious Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad as well. However, it will work with most salads and ingredients. It is a versatile and tasty dressing.
• Use as a dip. Ideal for chicken wings, a sandwich spread, or a veggie dip. It has a garlic-flavor so it will work with most dishes or salads.

Substitutions And Additions

• If you can't use fresh lemon then you could use lemon juice from a bottle instead.
• Add some lemon zest to give that extra burst of freshness.
• Use whichever mayonnaise you like. You could even use a lite version if you wish.
• Try and use the most high quality of parmesan you can to get that authentic flavor. If you do have a preferred brand then give it a try.
• Fresh garlic is best, but you could always add garlic granules or some garlic puree instead.
• Add some fresh herbs to give an extra flavor. Thyme or parsley would be a great addition.
