Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing

This Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing is super easy to make and honestly I think it tastes way better than any store bought dressing I’ve had!

If you have never made your own homemade Caesar salad dressing, then you are in for a real treat!

I try and make my own salad dressing from scratch whenever I can. Mainly because that way I know exactly what goes into it. I mean have you ever tried reading some of the ingredients on salad dressings?

I have a rule, if I can’t pronounce the ingredient then it’s not going into my body. There’s just way too many chemicals and artificial stuff that goes into foods these days.

Another reason I make my own is because I can make only the amount I need. That way nothing goes to waste. I can’t tell you how many half empty bottles of dressings I’ve had to toss out that expired before I could use them. Ugh!

Here’s the skinny on what you need on hand to make this Caesar dressing:

• 1 large Garlic Clove
• 4–6 Anchovies plus more for topping if desired
• 2 Tbs fresh Lemon Juice (approximately 1 Lemon)
• 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
• ½ tsp Sea Salt
• ½ tsp Black Pepper
• ½ cup Shredded Parmesan
• ¼ cup EVOO

In a small food processor add Garlic, Anchovies, Lemon Juice, Dijon, ½ teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Pepper, ½ cup Parmesan, and ¼ cup EVOO.

Blend until smooth, taste and add more salt or pepper if desired. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Try this dressing in my Blackened Chicken Caesar Salad!
