Notes

Homemade Caesar dressing can be stored in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 7 days!
The extra virgin olive oil in this recipe is a key ingredient in my mind and adds a nice depth of flavor. But if you are in a pinch you can use, avocado oil, vegetable oil, and even canola oil to make this recipe.
If you are planning to use store-bought mayo to create the mayonnaise base for this dressing, be sure to use real mayo. You don’t want salad dressing or Miracle Whip, as it will make the finished dressing too sweet.
I love using this dressing to make Caesar salads, but it’s also great on wraps, pasta salad, and sandwiches. And it makes a fun and delicious dipping sauce for chicken tenders and fries!
