With the increasing prevalence of hypertension and heart disease, individuals are becoming increasingly conscious of their sodium intake. Conventional Caesar dressing, a beloved condiment known for its rich, creamy texture and sharp, tangy flavor, often contains high levels of sodium. However, it is possible to create a version of this classic dressing that is both flavorful and low in sodium, allowing individuals with dietary restrictions or those looking to reduce their sodium consumption to enjoy this versatile dressing without compromising their health.
Here are our top 2 tried and tested recipes!

LOW SODIUM CAESAR DRESSING
Steps:
- Place all ingredients except Parmigiano Reggiano cheese in order listed in a narrow jar or beaker just wide enough to fit your stick blender. Allow to settle for a minute.
- Place stick blender in the bottom of the jar and turn on high. A vortex will form and pull the oil down and the oil will begin to thicken and turn to a typical off-white.
- Slowly move the blender head slowly up and down a little higher each time, until all the oil is incorporated, emulsified and no drizzles of oil is visible. The whole blend should take no longer than 1 minute.
- Add parmesan and blend up and down for about 10 seconds more. Add and adjust ingredients to taste.
- Store in a tightly sealed container (mason jar) in the refrigerator for up to one week when a fresh egg is used.
