so let’s get started. If you enjoy making other easy homemade appetizer recipes, be sure to explore our collection.

Ingredients

real mayo
Dijon mustard
Worcestershire sauce
garlic
salt
pepper
freshly squeezed lemon juice
neutral tasting oil (preference: extra light olive oil)
freshly grated Parmesan cheese
fresh, crisp lettuce
croutons
cheese

Instructions

Step 1

We’ll start with our creamy base,
and because we’re using real mayo here,
we don’t have to add any raw egg.
Next, add your Dijon mustard,
followed by Worcestershire sauce.
Also grate in some garlic,
or you can use a garlic press,
then season with salt and pepper.
Make sure you add freshly squeezed lemon juice
because it adds a lot of brightness to this dressing.

Step 2

Now whisk all of that together
until it’s really well combined and creamy smooth.

Step 3

While whisking vigorously, slowly drizzle in your oil.
My preference is extra light olive oil.
I don’t use extra virgin olive oil
because I feel like it ends up too strong flavor
for the dressing.

Step 4

And then last but not least,
once that is all whisked together,
add in your freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

All right, once the dressing is done,
this keeps really well in the fridge,
so we’re going to transfer this to a mason jar.

All we need to finish the Caesar salad
is some fresh, crisp, homemade lettuce that we’ve got here.
And then we’re going to add some croutons.
For a heartier meal, you might also consider serving it with easy crispy oven-baked chicken thighs.
So we’re just going to sprinkle those on, okay делу
And a nice generous drizzle of dressing.
And then, of course, I do like to add a little bit more cheese.
All right, toss this all together.

Wait, this really is like just so much better than store bought.
It does not compare.
Ugh, just every bite is so, so delicious.
Mm.
This is so good.
Homemade creamy Caesar dressing.
Looks good.
Oh, that’s a big bite, because it is good.

All right, I hope you guys totally love this recipe.

2 Whisk until Smooth: Whisk all the ingredients together vigorously until the mixture is well combined and creamy smooth.
3 Slowly Add Oil: While continuing to whisk vigorously, slowly drizzle in the neutral tasting oil (such as extra light olive oil) until fully incorporated and emulsified into the dressing.
4 Fold in Parmesan: Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese into the prepared dressing.
5 Store Dressing (Optional): Once the dressing is complete, you can transfer it to a mason jar and store it in the fridge until ready to use. It keeps very well.
