Caesar Salad Dressing Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Prepare Ingredients: Mince the garlic finely to ensure it blends well and releases its full flavor in the dressing.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the mayonnaise, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Whisk to Blend: Whisk all ingredients vigorously until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the Parmesan is evenly incorporated and the garlic is well distributed.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dressing and adjust the lemon juice or Parmesan if desired for extra tanginess or cheesiness.
- Serve or Store: Use immediately over fresh Caesar salad or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
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.
