INGRID'S CAESAR SALAD DRESSING



Ingrid's Caesar Salad Dressing image

This Caesar salad dressing is always a hit! Prepare at least 4 hours in advance for best taste. No raw egg means you can make this dressing and keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days, and it only gets better with time! For extra presentation serve with croutons, cubes of avocado flesh, and grated Parmesan cheese. Leftover dressing makes good dip for fresh veggies as a snack (Just maybe not at work due to the awesome amount of garlic!)

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh garlic and lemon juice will give your dressing the best flavor.
  • Don't over-process the dressing. A few pulses in a blender or food processor is all you need to combine the ingredients. Over-processing will make the dressing too thick and creamy.
  • Taste the dressing before you serve it. Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
  • Serve the dressing immediately. Caesar dressing is best when it's fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Caesar salad dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on salads, sandwiches, and even grilled meats. It's easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dressing, give Caesar dressing a try.
