Categories     Salad dressing

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 medium garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons lemon juice, to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce*, to taste
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
1/3 cup (1 ounce) finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon water
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a liquid measuring cup or bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon, and Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Stir in the Parmesan, followed by the water. Season generously with black pepper, to taste. I usually think the dressing tastes just right, but if you'd prefer a more bold dressing, add another 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, or for more zippy dressing, add up to 1 teaspoon additional lemon juice. Serve as desired.

Tips:

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pre-grated cheese often contains additives and preservatives that can alter the taste and texture of your dressing.
  • Make sure your ingredients are cold. This will help the dressing to emulsify properly and prevent it from curdling.
  • Don't over-process the dressing. Over-processing can make the dressing too thick and creamy.
  • Taste the dressing before serving and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper.
  • Serve the dressing immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use. The dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Skinny Creamy Caesar Dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on salads, grilled chicken, or fish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture and tangy flavor, this dressing is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
