Scale
Vegetarian Caesar Salad Dressing Ingredients
- ¾ cup light mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons vegan Worcestershire sauce, such as Annie’s Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ½ cup parmesan, grated
- ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients into a food processor to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- Blend Dressing: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well combined, with no large bits remaining.
- Alternative Method: If you don’t have a food processor, whisk all ingredients together thoroughly in a medium bowl. Note this method will result in a slightly chunkier dressing with larger pieces of parmesan.
- Store the Dressing: Transfer the dressing into an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep well for 4 to 5 days.
- Shake Before Use: Stir or shake the dressing well before each use to recombine any separated ingredients.
Notes
- You can substitute light mayonnaise with regular mayonnaise for a richer dressing.
- The vegan Worcestershire sauce ensures the dressing is vegetarian-friendly by omitting anchovies.
- Adjust lemon juice to taste for more tanginess.
- The dressing pairs perfectly with romaine lettuce and homemade croutons for a classic Caesar salad.
- Store in the refrigerator and consume within 4 to 5 days to maintain freshness and quality.
