Caesar Salad Dressing - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I make this Caesar dressing without raw egg yolks?

Yes, for a safer option, you can use pasteurized eggs or substitute with 1-2 tablespoons of mayonnaise per yolk to maintain creaminess without raw eggs.

How long can I store this Caesar dressing?

Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors may intensify over time, so give it a good stir before using.

Can I make this dressing without anchovies?

Absolutely! You can omit the anchovies or replace them with 1-2 teaspoons of fish sauce for a similar umami flavor without the fish pieces.

What can I use instead of Worcestershire sauce?

Try a teaspoon of soy sauce or tamari mixed with a pinch of sugar. For a vegetarian option, use a splash of balsamic vinegar and a pinch of mushroom powder.

Can I make this Caesar dressing dairy-free?

Yes, simply omit the Parmesan cheese or use a vegan Parmesan alternative. The dressing will still be creamy and flavorful from the other ingredients.

How can I make this dressing less garlicky?

Use just one small clove of garlic, minced very fine, or substitute with 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. You can always add more later if needed.

Can I freeze Caesar dressing?

It's not recommended as the emulsion can break when thawed, resulting in a separated texture. Fresh is best for this dressing.
