I love Caesar salad. Who doesn't? It's light, refreshing, tangy, and let's face it, all together way delicious. While I enjoy it all year round, it seems even better when the weather warms up. This salad is composed of very few ingredients so it is imperative that each part is as delicious as possible. Making this salad taste like an epicurean home run requires very fresh romaine, fine quality Parmesan cheese, homemade seasoned croutons, and a wonderful dressing. I make a few different recipes of this dressing, but when I found this recipe, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. It takes a little help from prepared mayonnaise and because of this, the dressing always comes out thick and creamy without having to worry about emulsifying the ingredients. It also is really quick to whip up. I bumped up the garlic and lemon juice and added some fresh cracked black pepper and now it's just perfect for me. Next time you're having a hankering for Caesar Salad give this recipe a try.
This recipe is at my new site. Hope to see you there :) I've posted a lot of new things.

ReplyDeleteMy friend Kim shared a very similar if not exact recipe w/ me years ago.It's a staple here:) I like to add capers..It's a keeper isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI love Caesar salad!! This is making me want salad for breakfast :)
ReplyDeleteMy super favourite Caesar salad dressing is from Ad Hoc Cookbook BUT you have to make your own mayonnaise which is time consuming. I like this one, especially since you don't need to make your own mayo and it has LOTS of anchovies which I love. I'll try it next time.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Wish I had seen this before making the salad yesterday! It sounds delicious and I will definitely try it! Anchovies! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love Caesar salad and your version looks great and easy to make. I will have to give this one a try since we eat it a lot in the summer especially with a bit of chicken added to it.
ReplyDeleteI love ceasar salad and have been searching for a great recipe for it. This sounds like one!Thank you.

ReplyDeleteTime for salads again, especially after Easter feasting. Wow....anchovies in a caesar dressing! Must be really tasty!
ReplyDeleteWe love Cearsar Salad and I make a big salad at least once a week! Never tried the Mayo Ceasar Salad dressing and it's about time!
ReplyDeleteEnjoying your blog!
ReplyDeleteCaesar salad is one of my very favorites!
My entire family LOVES Caesar Salad and I really want to try this salad dressing. Smooth and creamy dressing is the best!

I love Caesar dressing! This looks creamy and delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I've had Caesar salad because I'm not willing to make the dressing from scratch and the store-bought versions are never quite up to par. Thanks for this great recipe!
ReplyDeleteI love Caesar salad but can stand the ones that use whole anchovies {{shivers}}. Yours looks good, I think I can handle anchovy paste.
ReplyDeleteGreat Caesar dressing recipe, Kathleen! A no-fail. But you're right...everything HAS to be fresh in a salad and I love homemade croutons!
ReplyDeleteCaesar salad is SUCH a classic. I love that you made your own dressing. That definitely makes it infinitely better.
ReplyDeleteGrumpy ALWAYS orders Ceasar salad when we eat out. There is no question about it!
ReplyDeleteI love Ceasar sald too..but never made it myself..Now thanks to you I have the recipe...
ReplyDeleteFinally a Ceasar salad dressing I can teach my best friend how to make. She loves Ceasar salad but I can't tell her what goes into it.
ReplyDeleteI make a similar version -- but with more olive oil and only a bit of mayo. Love how the mayo creates that creamy emulsion without using a raw egg.
ReplyDeleteYummy! I can't eat a Caesar salad anymore if there is not some form of anchovy in it! Delicious!
ReplyDeleteWe love Caesar Salad at our house. It's our favorite, hands down. I can't wait to try your recipe.
ReplyDeletelove caesar sald...great pics..thanks for sharing..yum

You're right, who doesn't like Ceasar salad. YUM! This looks and sounds perfect. : )
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see this recipe! I am a Caesar salad addict but I never have it at home because the dressing is more than I want to take on. I can't wait to give this a try!
ReplyDeleteI've made Caesar Dressing once and it was so good. But I vowed not to make it again until I had a wooden bowl.....you just reminded me that I still need that bowl.
ReplyDeleteThe dressing sounds superb - love a good Caesar salad.
ReplyDeleteFresh and simple, it looks so delicious.
ReplyDeleteMimi
I've never even thought of making a Caesar dressing from scratch before, but that really sounds yummy. I love a good fresh Caesar salad!
ReplyDeleteHomemade Caesar dressing sounds excellent! Very yummy!
ReplyDeleteKathleen this is Kathleen from Sweet Kat's Italian Kitchen. This looks so delicious. I am looking forward to following you.
ReplyDeleteI adore caesar salad!! Where in the grocery would you find anchovy paste? I've never made my own caesar, so I have no idea where to look.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by to visit.
I love Caesar and this looks so much easier (and safer) than the raw egg yolk dressing that is traditional.
Great idea, thanks for sharing it!
This is one of my all time favourite salads, its an absolute classic. Beautifully done.
ReplyDelete*kisses* HH
This sounds really nummy and so simple.
ReplyDeletePerfect timing on this post! I'm doing the dollar a day grocery challenge, just got 6 heads of romaine for under $3. We're big fans of Caesar salads but usually buy expensive dressing! I already make my own croutons - add this recipe and now I'm all set! :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect salad and so delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love ceasar salad but, to my knowledge, I've never had anything with anchovy paste. What kind of flavor does this add to the salad? Is it fishy tasting?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I LOVE Ceasar dressing! My waistline, however, doesn't need it. YUM!
ReplyDeleteLove Caesar salad. I love it especially when it is a fresh made dressing and not bottled-Thanks for reminding us how easy this is to make and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI love Cesar Salad and LOVE your blog! I can't wait to try your recipes!
ReplyDeleteGreat recommendation. Can't wait to give this a try. I use Vegenaise, which will still work beautifully!
ReplyDeleteLL
Mmm. I love caesar salad. I love that this has lots of raw garlic in it. My caesar dressing does too. This is a great blog you have here.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who always orders extra caesar dressing- this sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteGrins, I knew I bought anchovy paste for a reason. Course Ole Sweetie-Pi spied it and has gotten all ooogly over it, so I'm going to have to wait and sneak it on him. I can't wait; yeah, I'm a little mean like that, hahahahah
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe. Thank you. My 8yr old son made it for us. We found 4 cloves of garlic a bit much, so new have knocked it back to 2. Too each their own.
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
Awesome things here. I'm very happy to look your post. Thanks so much and I am having a look forward to contact you. Will you kindly drop me a mail?
