Recreate the Cheesecake Factory Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe at home! Creamy, tangy, and easy to make with mayo, Parmesan, and anchovies.
Equipment
- Blender or food processor
- Spoons and cups
- Small whisk
- Glass jar/ airtight container
- Microplane grater
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 2 tsp anchovy paste
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- And water or milk too, if you like it thinner- but I like it thick and smooth.
Instructions
Step 1: Blend the Flavor Base
- Add mayonnaise, garlic, anchovy paste, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Parmesan cheese to a blender.
- Combine and stir for 10-15 seconds until a smooth creamy mixture is achieved.
Step 2: Add the Olive Oil
- On low with the blender, drizzle in the olive oil gradually. This assists in emulsifying the dressing, that silky restaurant quality.
Step 3: Season and Adjust
- Taste it. Does it need more lemon? A pinch more salt? Perhaps an additional sprinkling of Parmesan? It is your time to make it yours.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
- In a jar, pour the dressing, close the lid of the jar, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving. It becomes slightly thicker, and the tastes become marvelous.
