This Cheat’s Caesar Salad Dressing is creamy, garlicky and full of flavour – ready in 5 minutes with simple pantry ingredients. Fresher, tastier and more versatile than anything from a bottle!

  • Total Time: 5 mins
  • Yield: About ¾ cup (enough for 1 large salad or 4 serves as a dressing/dip)

Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅔ cup (160 g) whole-egg mayonnaise (see note 1)
  • 2 tbsp finely grated parmesan 
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp freshly minced garlic
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ tsp sea salt flakes
  • ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1.     In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients until smooth. 

Notes

Note 1 – The end result of this dressing will only be as good as the mayonnaise you choose. Make sure to use a full-fat, whole-egg mayonnaise. 

Note 2 – Old version Caesar Salad Dressing. Some of you loved the earlier version of this recipe, so here it is if you’d like to make it again. (Note: the older version is lighter, tangier, and uses fewer ingredients. The updated recipe is creamier and closer to a traditional caesar, so you can pick whichever suits your taste.)

  • ⅓ cup (90 g) whole-egg mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 heaped tbsp freshly grated parmesan
  • ½ tsp cracked black pepper
  • ½ tsp sea salt flakes

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.

 

Make Ahead

The dressing can be made up to 3 days ahead. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Leftovers

Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir before using. Not suitable for freezing.
