Best 7 Caesar Salad Dressing No Egg Recipes

**Caesar salad**, a classic American salad, is a simple yet flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a light lunch or as a side dish to grilled meats. It features crisp romaine lettuce, creamy Caesar dressing, and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese and croutons. The dressing, the heart of the salad, is typically made with mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, anchovies, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. However, there are many variations of the classic recipe, including this one that omits the egg and anchovies, making it suitable for vegans and those with egg allergies.

This article provides three Caesar salad dressing recipes: the classic version, a vegan version, and a low-carb version. The classic recipe includes mayonnaise, anchovies, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. The vegan version swaps out the mayonnaise for silken tofu and omits the anchovies, while the low-carb version uses Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise and omits the croutons. All three recipes are easy to make and can be ready in just a few minutes.

Whether you're a fan of the classic Caesar salad or looking for a healthier alternative, this article has a recipe for you. So gather your ingredients and get ready to enjoy this delicious and versatile salad.

EGGLESS CAESAR SALAD

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup grated Parmesan, plus a block for shaving
2 lemons, juiced
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 or 4 anchovy fillets
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
3 to 4 slices day old rustic Italian bread, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 hearts romaine lettuce

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor add the 1 cup of cheese, the lemon juice, 1 garlic clove, the mustard and the anchovies. Turn the machine on and let it run for 15 to 20 seconds. As the machine is running, drizzle in 1/2 to 3/4 cup olive oil. Let the machine run for another 15 seconds after the oil has incorporated. Season, to taste, with salt.
  • Coat a large saute pan generously with olive oil. Smash 2 garlic cloves and add them to the pan over medium heat. When the garlic cloves have become golden and are very aromatic remove them and discard, they have fulfilled their garlic destiny. Stir in the bread cubes, season with salt, to taste, and saute them until they have absorbed all of the oil and are crispy, but still slightly pliable.
  • Break apart the lettuce leaves. Swish them in cool water, then pat them dry. In a large bowl toss the leaves with the dressing. Arrange the leaves on serving plates and sprinkle with the garlic croutons. Shave some Parmesan over the salads and serve.

CAESAR SALAD-NO ANCHOVIES, NO EGGS



Caesar Salad-No Anchovies, No Eggs image

Ok, so without the eggs & the anchovies it might not be considered a "true" Caesar salad. But, this is still a really good Caesar-like salad and will please those picky eaters in your family who want Caesar salad, but won't go near it if you include the raw eggs and/or the anchovies. I can hear the purists groaning already, but you can also use the cheese in the "green can" in this if you don't have any fresh Parmesan lying around- it still tastes good either way, although it is best with Parmigiano-Reggiano. NOTE: There are anchovy free versions of Worcestershire Sauce commonly available.

Time 10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 -2 head romaine lettuce, rinsed, dried, torn into bite sized pieces (enough to fill a large salad bowl)
1/2 lemon, juice of
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1/4-1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated, more to taste
1 cup crouton, to taste (purchased or homemade)
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • Set lettuce into a large serving bowl.
  • Place dressing ingredients into a blender (yes all at once), put the lid on your blender, and blend until smooth.
  • Pour some of the dressing over lettuce, as much or as little as you prefer, and toss well to coat leaves with dressing; I tend to use less and have extra to save for another salad later in the week.
  • Set one clean hand over your salad bowl and squeeze the lemon half over it- letting the juice drip through your fingers, but catching the pits (discard pits).
  • Grind some black pepper over the salad to taste.
  • Add Parmesan cheese and stir to coat.
  • Taste for seasonings, adding a little more salt, pepper, or cheese if desired.
  • When the seasonings are correct, add the croutons to the top, give a quick stir, and serve immediately.
  • This does not keep well- if you need to make in advance, prepare the salad dressing alone and then toss everything together just before serving.

NO-RAW-EGG CAESAR SALAD DRESSING



No-Raw-Egg Caesar Salad Dressing image

So many folks worry about using raw eggs in salad dressings, so this dressing is a real find. Even better, it's absolutely delicious--and is so easy to make. Thanks to Bonnie Stern for this one.

Provided by Lennie

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup mayonnaise (not lowfat, not miracle whip)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup canola oil
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • You can prepare this dressing by hand with a whisk and some elbow grease, but it's easier to use a blender or food processor.
  • Put all ingredients except oils and parmesan in bowl of food processor or blender (or in a bowl) and combine well.
  • With food processor (or blender) running, slowly dribble in oils--or slowly whisk in oils, if making by hand.
  • You could use either all olive oil or all canola oil, but I prefer to use both.
  • Lastly, blend in the parmesan.
  • Taste; adjust seasonings as you wish (you may want to add salt, but the anchovy paste and worcestershire do provide the recipe with a fair amount of saltiness).
  • Either use right away, or refrigerate; it thickens when chilled, however, so you may have to give it a little whisk to loosen it up if you've stashed it in the fridge (it makes a great dip when thickened, though).
  • This dressing makes enough to dress one large caesar salad.
