This easy Caesar Dressing is rich, creamy, and delicious. A restaurant-quality Caesar salad dressing recipe made at home and ready in minutes!

Caesar dressing is so quick and easy to make at home and tastes so much better than the store-bought bottled option. It and the crunchy croutons give a Caesar salad all of its amazing flavor.

While traditional Caesar dressing is made with olive oil and raw eggs, my recipe is mayonnaise-based. This makes it super simple to whisk together in minutes, lasts longer in the refrigerator, and allows those with egg sensitivities to enjoy it.

Caesar Dressing Ingredients

Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.

  • Mayonnaise – My recipe is mayonnaise-based, allowing it to store longer in the refrigerator and making it easier to make. You can also substitute with your favorite Greek yogurt if preferred.
  • Lemon juice – I recommend using fresh lemon juice if possible. The lemon juice brightens the dressing.
  • Anchovy paste – My recipe uses anchovy paste rather than whole anchovy filets. This allows the dressing to whisk together more quickly and easily. If you prefer to use whole anchovy filets, add the anchovy filets and garlic to a food processor to make your own paste. Then, proceed with the recipe. You can omit the anchovy paste or anchovies if you prefer not to include them.
  • Dijon mustard – Adds a slightly tangy bite and depth of flavor to the dressing.
  • Worcestershire sauce – It also adds a depth of flavor to the dressing. Substitute with coconut aminos if sensitive to soy.
  • Seasoning – The recipe calls for fresh garlic, salt, and pepper. You can substitute a teaspoon of Stone House Seasoning (my favorite house seasoning blend!).
  • Parmesan cheese – I add finely shredded Parmesan cheese to my dressing. You can also add more for serving!

    This was Delish! My now go to recipe. The only thing I would change is to eliminate the salt. It doesn’t need it. Amazing!

    I have made this recipes many times and just love the ease of it. The flavors are great. I add 2-3 times the amount of anchovy paste.
