Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe
While not part of the original recipe, a creamy Caesar dressing based on mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese has become the popular solution over the years. Here’s a delicious recipe, courtesy of McCormick. Remember that freshly-grated Parmesan cheese, freshly-minced garlic and freshly-squeezed lemon juice make a big difference.

- Fresh-ground black pepper to taste
- Optional broiled/grilled chicken strips or shrimp (for a main dish salad)
Preparation
-
Mix mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic anchovies, Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce in small bowl until well blended. Stir in milk. For a thinner (and less caloric) dressing, add more milk. Refrigerate dressing until ready to use.
-
To serve, toss lettuce and croutons in large bowl. Add dressing; toss to coat well.
-
Sprinkle with fresh black pepper from a peppercorn grinder and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
- For Chicken or Shrimp Caesar Salad, top with grilled chicken or shrimp. Some people add bacon and hard-boiled eggs, but this is a Cobb Salad-Caesar Salad fusion.
