The Salad My Son Picks Over Candy

My oldest son loves salads—always has! Ever since he was little, he’s loved them. Quick story: a couple of weeks ago, we stopped at a gas station before his basketball game. I told him to grab a snack, and he came out with… a packaged Caesar salad. No chips, no soda, no candy—just a Caesar salad, ha!

He swears Caesar salad is the best salad on the planet and asks for it all the time. We make it a few times a month, and according to him, this is the best Caesar dressing recipe ever. Honestly? I agree!

All the ingredients in this recipe prpped out for straightforward assembly including the parm, worcestershire, anchovy, lemon, dijon, garlic powder, milk, and mayo.

Caesar Dressing Recipe Ingredients

Ingredient	Tips & Swaps
Mayonnaise	Stick with full-fat mayo for creaminess. Avocado mayo works if you want a lighter option.
Anchovy paste	If you don’t have it, add extra Worcestershire or a splash of fish sauce.
Garlic	Fresh cloves give bold flavor. In a pinch, use jarred or even ½ tsp garlic powder.
Worcestershire sauce	This is a key Caesar flavor, so don’t skip it if possible.
Parmesan cheese	Freshly grated blends best. Pre-grated works but can make the dressing grainy.
Olive oil	Use a high-quality extra virgin oil for the best flavor. Or any neutral oil will work.

All the ingredients for this Caesar dressing recipe are added to a food processor and blended together.
