Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Use a whisk or a fork to blend them together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce to the mixture. This will add depth and umami flavor to your dressing. Whisk again until well incorporated.
- Next, squeeze in the fresh lemon juice. This will brighten the flavor of the dressing and add a nice tang. Mix thoroughly.
- Now, take the minced garlic and add it to the bowl. Garlic will give your dressing a robust flavor. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Gradually fold in the grated Parmesan cheese. This will add richness and a savory note to your dressing. Make sure it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your preference.
- Once all ingredients are combined, taste the dressing and adjust any seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a teaspoon of water or more lemon juice.
- Transfer the Caesar dressing to a serving bowl or an airtight container if you are not using it immediately. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Serve the dressing over your favorite salad greens or use it as a dip for vegetables. Enjoy your homemade Steakhouse Caesar Dressing!
Tips
- Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your garlic, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese can make a significant difference in the final flavor.
- Mince the garlic finely to ensure it distributes evenly and doesn't create large chunks in your dressing.
- Adjust the consistency by adding a little water or extra lemon juice if the dressing is too thick.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a small amount of anchovy paste for traditional Caesar dressing depth.
- Always taste and adjust seasoning before serving - the salt and pepper should be balanced to enhance the other flavors.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within a week for optimal freshness and flavor.
