How to Make Caesar Salad Dressing
- Start by combining mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black ground pepper in a large bowl.
- Then mix it all with a hand mixer just until combined.
- Finally, add Parmesan, Romano cheese, pressed garlic, and Worcestershire sauce to this mixture.
- Whisk once more for a minute or so until it all comes together and is well combined.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic, lemon juice, and high-quality Parmesan and Romano cheese make your homemade Caesar salad dressing authentic and flavorful.
- Whisk thoroughly: Mix mayonnaise and Greek yogurt well for a smooth, creamy texture before adding other ingredients.
- Balance flavors: Adjust salt, pepper, and lemon juice for the perfect tangy, savory, umami taste.
- Add cheese last: Stir in Parmesan and Romano at the end to keep the dressing creamy and clump-free.
- Make ahead: Flavors improve when the dressing is prepared in advance.
- Skip raw eggs safely: Mayonnaise and Greek yogurt create a safe, creamy alternative to raw egg yolk.
- Versatility is key: Works as a dip for vegetables, wraps, or chicken strips, not just salads.
- Boost umami: Add Worcestershire sauce or anchovy paste for deeper, classic flavor.
