The Best Homemade Caesar Dressing Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1.5 cups mayonnaise

  full-fat works best
• 3 oz parmesan cheese

  1.5 cups grated; Parmigiano Reggiano works best OR a 50/50 Parmesan and Pecorino Romano
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

  with a light flavor so it doesn't overwhelm; OR avocado oil
• 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  use gluten-free if needed
• 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic

  from 3 garlic cloves
• 6 anchovy filets

  or 1/2 Tbsp anchovy paste
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• water

  1/4-1/3 cup to thin the sauce
• sea salt

  only if needed since the anchovies are salty

Instructions

• 1 Peel and finely mince the garlic and grate the parmesan cheese.
• 2 Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth(ish)
  and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides 1-2 times, as needed.
  
  An immersion blender/blender will also work.
• 3 Slowly drizzle in the water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing is
  thin enough to flow slowly off a spoon.
• 4 Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning (or any of the ingredients) to your
  liking.
  
  For the best flavor, chill the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  This allows the flavors to meld and enhance and provides a better consistency.
• 5 Store the dressing in a sterile, airtight jar for up to a week. Give it a good
  shake each time before using, and optionally add more water, if needed, if it's
  thickened.
