Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced about 1 teaspoon zest and 2 tablespoons juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 4-5 dashes Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well to combine.
- Alternatively, whisk together all ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined.
Notes
This version has no anchovies, making it even easier to whip up anytime. However, if you have some you'd like to use, add a teaspoon of anchovy paste or 3 small oil-packed anchovies, finely chopped. (It helps to mash them with the side of a knife along with the garlic and salt on your cutting board.) No raw egg here either, which means no tempering to try to eliminate any risk for salmonella. However, you could add a tablespoon of mayo or even Greek yogurt if you'd like a creamier texture to your dressing. Homemade Caesar dressing will keep for up to a week in the fridge. Keep it in a covered container. You may need to re-whisk or re-shake your dressing before using to get it well mixed again.
