A friend shared this recipe with me. It seemed quite simple to make and it was exciting to skip on some of those preservatives.
If you like Caesar Salad, you must try this dressing. The dressing resembles a Cheesecake Factory restaurant’s dressing.

I am a Caesar Salad Connoisseur, and this is the best dressing I’ve come across. It is the closest to Cheesecake Factory’s, which I consider outstanding. I did add a bit more Dijon mustard, a sprinkle of Worcestershire sauce, and one more garlic clove, but that was my preference. The basic recipe is a great foundation to tweak to your preference.
Yes, I love Caesar Salad at Cheesecake! Thank you for sharing your tweaks! I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe.
Hi, I am a little confused. The listed ingredients state 1 T lemon juice, but the written instructions read "juice 2 T lemon" - which is correct?
Thanks
Oh darn, I go between 1 and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. 🙂 I guess try one and see if you want to add more.
Is there a way to make this a little less creamy? Like add more lemon juice?
I am sur wou can always add more lemon juice. Also you can try lighter mayo, maybe that would help.
I've been looking for a good Caesar dressing recipe for a long time. I don't like store bought ones because they all seem to be a little on the sour side, which I don't like. This dressing is super easy to prepare and DE-LI-CIOUS!!! Thank you! Won't have to buy Caesar dressing ever again ?
Hi Tanya, I agree with you. Homemade dressing is amazing, it is hard to buy a store bough once now because they don't live up to our expectations no more.
Thanks for all these wonderful recipes:) They all turn out great! I have a quick question though, there's a picture of all the ingredients in a blender but the directions say to whisk everything together. What are we supposed to do?
You either whisk or blend until all combined. I am lazy like that so I blend 😉
Btw, thanks for sweet words! I am glad you are enjoying the recipes!
Spaciba Natasha its delicious<3
Perfect!!! Totally agree with you! 😉
Yes, its a really good recipe. Thank you!
Usually, the ceaser dressing recipes out there scared me b/c almost every recipe involved using a raw egg and oil (to create the mayo part), but this way, it is so easy and preservative free. Love it!
