Description

Creamy, garlicky, and ready in 10 minutes, this copycat LongHorn Caesar Salad Dressing tastes just like the steakhouse. Perfect on crisp romaine, grilled chicken, wraps, or as a dip.

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons anchovy paste, or 3–4 anchovy fillets, minced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons water, to thin (optional)

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, anchovy paste, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice until smooth.
  • Add the mayonnaise and olive oil. Whisk until fully creamy and combined.
  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the dressing thickens slightly.
  • Season with black pepper and salt to taste. Thin with water, one tablespoon at a time, if a lighter consistency is desired.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest texture — pre-shredded cheese won't blend in as well.
  • Taste before adding salt; the anchovy, Parmesan, and Worcestershire already add plenty.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir before using. Freezing is not recommended.
  • For a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne.
