Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup full-fat mayonnaise
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 –4 cloves garlic very finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons anchovy paste or 2–3 minced anchovy fillets
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons water to thin, if needed

Instructions
 

  • Add mayonnaise, Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to a blender or food processor.
  • Add garlic, anchovy paste, black pepper, and salt. Blend until smooth.
  • With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in olive oil to emulsify.
  • Add water 1 tablespoon at a time if a thinner consistency is desired.
  • Taste and adjust lemon, salt, or Parmesan as needed.
  • Transfer to a container and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Freshly grated Parmesan gives the best texture and flavor.
Do not skip anchovy; it adds authentic Caesar depth without tasting fishy.
Dressing thickens after chilling—thin with a little water or lemon juice if needed.
Store refrigerated up to 1 week.
