Why make this dressing

Creamy Caesar dressing is full of flavor with lots of garlic, lemon and parmesan cheese.

You can easily whip up a batch of this dressing in a food processor and store in the refrigerator for up to a week. It's perfect for making a Caesar salad quickly for dinner.

Key ingredients

Grated parmesan cheese on a wooden cutting board with other ingredients behind the cheese.
  • Parmesan cheese - grated
  • Mayonnaise - I use regular mayo, but you could also use a low fat mayonnaise if you prefer
  • Lemon juice - freeze squeezed really is the best

Step by step directions

  • Add mayonnaise, garlic, dijon mustard, vinegar, worcestershire sauce and lemon juice to a food processor bowl.

  • Pulse until mixed, but so the cheese still maintains some texture
  • Place in a storage container with a cover and refrigerate until ready to use

Tips for making this dressing

  • A food processor works best to combine all the ingredients

  • Make and use right away or cover and store in the refrigerator for up to a week

Recipe FAQs

How long does Caesar Salad Dressing last?

This creamy Caesar dressing can last up to one week in the refrigerator. If the dressing separates, just stir until it comes back together. 

Does Caesar dressing have raw eggs?

A traditional Caesar dressing does have raw eggs, or coddled eggs. This creamy dressing uses mayonnaise instead of eggs.

Are there anchovies in Caesar dressing?

Traditionally there are anchovies in a Caesar dressing. This dressing does not include them, however feel free to add one or two if desired.

This recipe does use Worcestershire sauce, which does list anchovies as an ingredient.

    Kathy, Caesar salad must be one of our family's favorites! Nothing compares to homemade dressing. So cool that you used to make it in a restaurant! You must have made it a lot to get the proportions right without tasting it!

      Making them in the restaurant was certainly challenging! So much easier to make in my own kitchen!

    Caesar is my Mom's favorite salad so I grew up eating it every week. Love your creamy dressing recipe and will send it to my Mom so she can try it too! Also, love the story of you making caesars tableside at the restaurant. I would have been super scared! lol! 🙂

    I've made my own Thousand Island dressing before (yum!), but never Caesar. Caesar salads are one of my go-to salads though...so I definitely need to try this one out. And I second the lack of anchovies. 🙂

    Ahhhh....those tableside Ceasars were the best! I don't think I could remember all the proportions any more. I do remember trying to leave one bitty piece of lettuce in the bowl so I could sample my creation once back in the kitchen. Love that you omitted the egg!
