Caesar Salad Dressing is a creamy salad dressing that’s best when it’s homemade. Our recipe has no anchovies, is easy-to-make, and better than store-bought.

Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing

When it comes to salad dressings, they usually fall into two categories: vinaigrettes and creamy dressings. Usually, I reach for the balsamic- either plain or I’ll whip up some of my Homemade Tomato Vinaigrette. I’ll often also use my CopyCat Olive Garden Salad Dressing Recipe to mix things up a little. But, when I’m in the mood for something creamy, I’m always reaching for something Italian!

This Caesar Salad Dressing we’ve made here at home gets rid of the traditional anchovies. This helps it get real close to those creamy Italian dressings that I love to use at salad bars and restaurants whenever we decide to eat out for the night!

This dressing will work on all kinds of salads! The obvious candidates are Caesar salads- either a standard Caesar or something adventurous like a Chicken Caesar. It’ll also work on all other sorts of garden salads- you might even want to try it on a wrap.

Whatever you end up putting this dressing on, I’m certain you’ll enjoy it. The recipe we have here offers plenty of depth and is open for you to put your own personal spins on it! You can bring in more ingredients, mess with the amounts, and find what works best for you and your tastes.

Ingredients for Salad Dressing

  • Mayonnaise
  • Fresh-Grated Parmesan – For a fancier dressing, you might sub in another hard cheese like Pecorino Romano or Grana Padano.
  • Sour Cream – Some recipes will call for a plain Greek yogurt here. Experiment and find what you like best!
  • Lemon Juice
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Minced Garlic
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Olive Oil & Vinegar – Little touches of olive oil and vinegar add a bit more depth to this dressing.
  • Salt & Pepper(to taste)

How to Make our Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing

Preparing this dressing is incredibly easy! All you have to do is reach for your food processor. After grating your parmesan, toss all your ingredients into the processor.

From here, all you have to do is blitz your ingredients until you’ve got a consistent dressing you’re ready to pour over some salad. Taste it often and add any extra ingredients you want to add- a little extra Worcestershire, a touch more garlic. Make a dressing you’re proud of and enjoy!
