Notes

  • For a thinner dressing, add a small amount of water or olive oil while whisking.
  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for best flavor.
  • Parmesan cheese should be finely grated for a smooth texture.
  • This dressing contains raw garlic; if sensitive, use roasted garlic for a milder taste.
  • Can be modified by adding anchovy paste or Worcestershire sauce for a traditional Caesar flavor.
