A friend shared this recipe with me. It seemed quite simple to make and it was exciting to skip on some of those preservatives.

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!
