Caesar salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side salad. It is traditionally made with romaine lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese, and a creamy Caesar dressing. However, Caesar dressing typically contains raw eggs, which can be a concern for some people. If you are looking for a delicious and safe Caesar salad dressing that is made without raw eggs, there are many recipes available online and in cookbooks. These recipes often use mayonnaise, sour cream, or yogurt as a base, and may also include ingredients such as lemon juice, garlic, anchovies, and Dijon mustard.
Here are our top 5 tried and tested recipes!

Steps:
- You can prepare this dressing by hand with a whisk and some elbow grease, but it's easier to use a blender or food processor.
- Put all ingredients except oils and parmesan in bowl of food processor or blender (or in a bowl) and combine well.
- With food processor (or blender) running, slowly dribble in oils--or slowly whisk in oils, if making by hand.
- You could use either all olive oil or all canola oil, but I prefer to use both.
- Lastly, blend in the parmesan.
- Taste; adjust seasonings as you wish (you may want to add salt, but the anchovy paste and worcestershire do provide the recipe with a fair amount of saltiness).
- Either use right away, or refrigerate; it thickens when chilled, however, so you may have to give it a little whisk to loosen it up if you've stashed it in the fridge (it makes a great dip when thickened, though).
- This dressing makes enough to dress one large caesar salad.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor add the 1 cup of cheese, the lemon juice, 1 garlic clove, the mustard and the anchovies. Turn the machine on and let it run for 15 to 20 seconds. As the machine is running, drizzle in 1/2 to 3/4 cup olive oil. Let the machine run for another 15 seconds after the oil has incorporated. Season, to taste, with salt.
- Coat a large saute pan generously with olive oil. Smash 2 garlic cloves and add them to the pan over medium heat. When the garlic cloves have become golden and are very aromatic remove them and discard, they have fulfilled their garlic destiny. Stir in the bread cubes, season with salt, to taste, and saute them until they have absorbed all of the oil and are crispy, but still slightly pliable.
- Break apart the lettuce leaves. Swish them in cool water, then pat them dry. In a large bowl toss the leaves with the dressing. Arrange the leaves on serving plates and sprinkle with the garlic croutons. Shave some Parmesan over the salads and serve.

RADICCHIO CAESAR SALAD
This fragrant take on Caesar salad uses up an entire tin of anchovies and replaces the sweet romaine with gloriously bitter radicchio. For the dressing: Though you could use a raw egg yolk and slowly stream in oil while whisking constantly, relying on the already emulsifying qualities of store-bought mayonnaise gets you to creamy heights with less fuss. This salad does not keep well, so serve it immediately, while the radicchio is still plump and crunchy. There's no added salt in this recipe, as the many anchovies season both the bread crumbs and the dressing. But should your radicchio be especially bitter - pleasant though that flavor can be - feel free to add a pinch of salt to help tame the bitterness.

Steps:
- Prepare the bread crumbs: Add all of the anchovy oil from the tin (about 2 tablespoons) to a large skillet. Transfer the anchovies from their tin to a cutting board, draining them well. Finely chop 2 anchovies and add to the skillet, then turn the heat to medium-high. Cook the anchovies, stirring occasionally, until they start to sizzle, about 1 minute. Stir in the bread crumbs and cook, stirring constantly, until golden and toasted, 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Make the dressing: Set aside 4 anchovies (for garnish later) and finely chop the rest (there should be about 6). Add the chopped anchovies to a large bowl, along with the garlic, olive oil, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and Parmesan. Season generously with pepper and whisk to combine.
- Dress the salad: Add the radicchio leaves to the dressing and toss. The salad should be lightly dressed, not thickly caked. Taste for acidity, adjusting with more lemon juice if your radicchio is especially bitter. Transfer to a large plate, piling the leaves high. Top with a final grating of Parmesan and the bread crumbs, and garnish with the remaining anchovies. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the tastier the dressing will be.
- Don't over-process the dressing: Over-processing can make the dressing too thick and creamy.
- Taste the dressing as you go: Adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- Let the dressing rest for a bit: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Store the dressing in a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid: This will help to keep the dressing fresh.
