Tips:

  • Taste as you go: Adjust the seasonings to your liking, adding more salt, pepper, lemon juice, or Worcestershire sauce as needed.
  • Let the dressing rest: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. If you can, make the dressing ahead of time and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Use the right tools: A blender or food processor will make quick work of emulsifying the dressing. However, you can also whisk the dressing by hand until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Store the dressing properly: Caesar dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Be sure to store it in an airtight container.
