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.
Making your own salad dressing means you get to control exactly what goes into the dressing. Add a little extra garlic or squeeze of lemon or omit anything you don’t have on hand.
We use this Caesar dressing for making Caesar salads, but we also use it as a dip for veggies, a spread on sandwich wraps and we even like to dip spicy chicken wings into this dressing!
Key ingredients
- Parmesan cheese – grated
- Mayonnaise – I use regular mayo, but you could also use a low fat mayonnaise if you prefer

Tips for making this dressing
- A food processor works best to combine all the ingredients

Recipe FAQs
This creamy Caesar dressing can last up to one week in the refrigerator. If the dressing separates, just stir until it comes back together.
A traditional Caesar dressing does have raw eggs, or cuddled eggs. This creamy dressing uses mayonnaise instead of eggs.
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.
What can I add to a Caesar Salad?
You can add a grilled chicken breast, grilled salmon, or thinly sliced cooked steak. All of the items can be added warm or cold.
