A quick and easy homemade Caesar dressing featuring anchovy paste for authentic umami flavor, creamy mayonnaise, and fresh ingredients that elevate any salad.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon anchovy paste
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (120 ml)
  • 1 clove fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (30 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (25 g)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients: Measure out ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon anchovy paste, 1 clove garlic (minced), 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt & pepper to taste.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, anchovy paste, and minced garlic. Whisk vigorously until fully blended and smooth.
  3. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk to combine evenly.
  4. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and whisk until fully integrated.
  5. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing.
  6. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Let the dressing sit for at least 10 minutes in the fridge before serving to allow flavors to meld. Use immediately if needed.

Notes

Use fresh garlic and fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Whisk slowly when adding olive oil to create a smooth emulsion. Let the dressing rest in the fridge for at least 10 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Adjust anchovy paste to taste to avoid overpowering flavor. For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. For vegan or dairy-free versions, use vegan mayo and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
