Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe

One of my favorite meals is a big plate of romaine lettuce with homemade Caesar Salad dressing. Throw in a few croutons and some leftover chicken and I’m a happy girl. Sure, you could use bottled dressing on this type of salad but where’s the fun in that? Once you make up a batch using the recipe below, you won’t go back to store-bought. The taste is so much better and it is quick and easy to blend together.

You need a blender to make this homemade caesar salad dressing. It works out pretty well in a food processor, but the results with a blender are so much better that I never make it with a food processor, or rather, did so only once. Second of all, the anchovies are completely optional. According to Julia Child, who ate it as a child in the 1920’s, prepared by Chef Caesar himself, the original Caesar Salad did not have anchovy in it at all. This was added later by an innovative chef whose name is lost to history. So if you like anchovies, add them, if you don’t, just leave them out.

If Caesar Salad Dressing isn’t your thing, Here are six of my favorite homemade salad dressings. Try them all and see which one you like best.
