0 mins Serves 6

A classic homemade Caesar dressing with the perfect balance of garlic, Parmesan, and tangy flavors. Simple to make and much more flavorful than store-bought versions.

Ingredients

Scale: 1x
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Dash of sugar
  • Dash of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan
  • Anchovies (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine oil, crushed garlic, cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Add the grated Parmesan cheese.
  3. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. If desired, add anchovies to the dressing or serve them on individual salads.
  5. Toss with approximately 1 1/2 bunches of romaine lettuce just before serving.

Tips

For the best flavor, use fresh Parmesan that you grate yourself rather than pre-grated cheese. You can substitute extra virgin olive oil for a more traditional flavor. The dressing can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week - just shake well before using. For a more authentic Caesar dressing, you can add a raw egg yolk, though this is optional and carries some food safety considerations.
