Substitutions
- Substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or sour cream for a tangy and creamy dressing.
- Experiment with different mustards, such as Dijon mustard. If all you have on hand is yellow mustard, that works too.
- For a vegan version, swap the parmesan cheese for a vegan product. Nutritional yeast is popular, as well as cashew parm.
Vegan grated cheese using organic and fair-trade cashews.
Recipe Variations
- This is a Caesar dressing without anchovy, but if you want, add a teaspoon of anchovy paste to boost the umami flavor.
- Add variety with different fresh herbs such as parsley, dill, or basil. Finely mince them for even distribution into the dressing.
Serving Suggestions
- Make a classic Caesar salad and toss the dressing with freshly chopped romaine lettuce. Garnish with some homemade croutons.
- Serve the salad alongside some grilled chicken or salmon for a healthy meal.
- Use the dressing as a spread to add zing to sandwiches or wraps.
- Make a crudité tray and use the dressing as a dip for the veggies.
FAQS
If the dressing is too thick, you can thin it out by adding water, lemon juice, or vinegar a little at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.
Absolutely! To make a vegan version of this recipe, use plant-based parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast instead of cheese. The rest of the recipe is vegan-friendly.
