Servings 2 tablespoon servings
Ingredients
Dressing
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 large garlic cloves roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ½ tablespoon white wine vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup olive oil
Salad
- romaine lettuce
- freshly shaved Parmesan cheese
- croutons
- cooked chicken optional
- lemon wedges optional, for garnish
Instructions
Dressing
- Combine mayo, mustard, garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a blender and process until smooth. With blender running on low speed slowly pour in olive oil in a steady stream just until fully incorporated. *If for some reason your dressing ends up too thick (can happen if you process too long) just add a tablespoon or two of milk). Store in fridge.
Salad
- To make Caesar Salad, toss dressing with chopped romaine lettuce and then top with fresh parmesan, croutons, and grilled chicken if desired. Garnish with lemon wedges.
