Really loved this dressing. I whipped this up in no time! It caused my 5 year old to do something he’s never done before after eating the one dish that calls for daily negotiating…salad. In fact, I try to use organic whenever possible. This recipe for Caesar Salad Dressing is amazing. The tip on using Anchovy paste instead of actual anchovy and the inclusion of good mayonnaise in place of eggs and oil is obvious, now.

Wonderful flavor! This recipe is utterly fantastic! It’s not overly garlicky or fishy — it’s just right. Sure, I think this would be delicious tossed into a pasta salad!

I know there are sites out there that allow you to plug in ingredients for nutritional data.
This is my go to dressing. I put the dijon mustard, garlic, W sauce, anchovies and all other liquids into the food processor and blended it. Wanted. I have made this a least 6 times and it has become my favorite recipe bar none. Yes the “real” dressing is great but this is easy and simple and you usually always have the ingredients on hand. A couple of minor substitutions – instead of 1 tsp of anchovy paste, I prefer a 2 oz can of the real thing. Next time will half the mayo!
So delicious. Which has the RAW EGGS necessary for the recipe??? If it’s too tangy, too sweet, too blah, I won’t order it. Since I have been on an elimination diet, I have been making more recipes and needed a good caesar dressing. If you make such a great dressing of your own why bother with any other? Only change I made was I used whole anchovies as I could not find the paste. Lightened up on the mayo too, to have less thick dressing. If it is real mayonnaise it is an emulsion of raw eggs and oil! It was almost perfect as is, but rather than using Anchovy paste, I minced canned Anchovies and “To taste”, I added a 3rd garlic bulb, more than doubled the lemon and a bit extra black pepper. I could eat the whole bowl with a spoon, it’s that good. Glad you like it! Thank you!!!! Just trying to lighten things up a bit. Just as good if not better than in many restaurants. You can leave out the anchovy paste but the dressing won’t have that distinctly Caesar taste. When I go to the grocery store and decide to make something on the spur of the moment, I know exactly what I meed!
I also used Pecorino cheese to give it an extra sharp bite. I thought the same thing about anchovy paste but did buy some and used it in the recipe,happy I did it turned out well. Just the right balance of flavors. I don’t change or modify a single thing. Will make this often! Only negative is my husband and I can no longer order caesar salad when eating out as it never tastes as good as yours/mine!!

Very simple and flavorful. The best ever Caesar salad dressing recipe! Really tasted like restaurant style and so much better than anything I tried from grocery stores.
What a fantastic recipe.
And so easy. I’ve been in search of the best Caesar dressing for months. I’m frequently asked to bring it to parties. how long will this dressing keep in the refrigerator?
