Caesar Salad Dressing

Caesar salad was created by Caesar Cardini, a restaurateur, chef and hotel owner in 1924. Although the original recipe does not contain anchovies, many recipes include anchovies as a key ingredient. Our recipe for Caesar salad dressing has anchovy paste, but it's optional. For a vegetarian version of the dressing, you can omit the anchovy paste.

There are many variations of ranch dressing, which may include sour cream or yogurt. Try our tomatillo ranch dressing or vegan ranch dressing recipes.
