A creamy, garlicky, and tangy Caesar dressing made without anchovies, perfect for salads, grilled chicken, and roasted veggies. Easy to make with simple pantry ingredients and ready in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (120 ml)
  • ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (25 g)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (30 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (5 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (5 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (30 ml)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Mince 2 garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press. Grate ¼ cup (25 g) of fresh Parmesan cheese.
  2. In a medium bowl, add ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Worcestershire sauce. Whisk together until smooth.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated Parmesan until well combined.
  4. While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil to emulsify the dressing and achieve a silky texture.
  5. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper gradually, starting with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper, then adjust to taste.
  6. Let the dressing sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature to allow flavors to meld.
  7. Give it one last whisk before serving. If too thick, add a teaspoon of water or more lemon juice to loosen.

Notes

Slowly drizzle olive oil while whisking to prevent dressing from splitting. Use fresh lemon juice and freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor. Adjust salt carefully as Parmesan adds saltiness. Dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and whisk before use. Avoid freezing to maintain texture.
