Looking for a creamy, tangy, and flavorful dressing to elevate your salads, sandwiches, or even grilled meats? Look no further than Caesar dressing! This iconic dressing has stood the test of time for a reason – it's simply delicious.
This article presents three variations of Caesar dressing, each with its own unique twist. The classic Caesar dressing recipe is a timeless staple, made with fresh anchovies, Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and olive oil. If you're looking for a lighter version, try the Greek yogurt Caesar dressing, which uses Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. And for a vegan alternative, the vegan Caesar dressing uses cashews, nutritional yeast, and plant-based milk to create a creamy and flavorful dressing. No matter which variation you choose, you're sure to find a Caesar dressing that you'll love.

INGRID'S CAESAR SALAD DRESSING
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!)

Steps:
- Combine the yogurt, lemon juice, Parmesan, anchovies, olive oil, mustard, garlic, oregano, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes. The dressing will keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dressing will taste. This is especially true for the garlic, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese.
- Make sure your eggs are at room temperature: This will help them to emulsify with the oil more easily.
- Use a good quality olive oil: The type of olive oil you use will also affect the taste of your dressing. Choose a flavorful extra virgin olive oil.
- Don't over-process the dressing: Over-processing can make the dressing too thick and creamy. Just pulse the ingredients until they are well combined.
- Taste the dressing as you go: Adjust the seasonings to your taste. You may want to add more garlic, lemon juice, or Parmesan cheese.
Conclusion:
Caesar dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on salads, sandwiches, and even grilled meats. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a Caesar dressing that will impress your friends and family.
