Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dressing without anchovies?
Yes, you can omit the anchovies and substitute with 1/2 teaspoon capers for a briny flavor, though the dressing will taste slightly different from classic Caesar.
Is it safe to use raw egg yolks?
Using fresh, high-quality eggs lowers the risk, but if concerned, use pasteurized eggs or substitute with 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise per yolk.
How long does this dressing last in the fridge?
Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before each use.
Can I freeze Caesar dressing?
Freezing is not recommended as the emulsion may break. For more on freezing, see our guide <a href="/articles/freezing-sauces-preservation-methods-guide">Freezing Sauces 101</a>.
What if my dressing is too thick or too thin?
Add cold water a tablespoon at a time to thin, or blend in extra mayonnaise to thicken.
