Homemade Caesar Dressing Basics
Homemade Caesar dressing should be creamy, punchy, and unapologetically savory with oil-packed anchovies, garlic, Parmesan, Dijon mustard, and egg yolk.
Building the Emulsion
Add oil drop by drop while whisking until thick and glossy, then drizzle in remaining oil slowly for a smooth emulsion.
Consistency Adjustments
Thin with a splash of water until dressing reaches heavy cream consistency without weighing down lettuce.
Versatile Uses
Use for classic Caesar salad, roasted vegetables, sandwiches, or as a dip.
Anchovy Substitutions
Anchovies provide signature savory depth; use anchovy paste or Worcestershire sauce for vegetarian options.
Salty Dressing Fixes
Start with conservative seasoning and use kosher salt to avoid over-salting from anchovies and Parmesan.
Blender Alternatives
A blender or food processor can make dressing faster but requires larger batches and gradual oil addition.
