WHAT IS CAESAR SALAD DRESSING MADE OF?

Most of the ingredients needed for a classic caesar dressing you most likely already have on hand. The salad can be prepared in less than 5-minutes.

  • MAYO: Adds richness to the dressing.
  • MILK: Not a classic ingredient, but we like how it lightens the dressing.
  • LEMON: Gives the dressing its tanginess.
  • WORCESTERSHIRE: The secret ingredients for so much flavor.
  • DIJON: Removes that mayo taste and adds flavor.
  • SEASONING: So the salad isn’t bland.
  • GARLIC: We recommend fresh garlic.
  • OIL: Along with the mayo, gives it the creaminess.
  • PARMESAN CHEESE: Adds the cheesy flavor.
