Your hunt for an eggless, restaurant quality caesar salad dressing recipe is over!
This dressing gets its punch from capers and a dash of Worcestershire. It blends up super creamy and combined with crispy Romaine and Parmesan cheese, makes for a truly superb Caesar Salad.
What Should I Put this Eggless Caesar Salad Dressing On?
Why Make Caesar Salad Dressing Without Egg? Many prefer their Caesar Salad Dressing to be made without eggs because:
They avoid raw eggs
They’re pregnant or immunocompromised
They simply don’t keep eggs on hand
They want a longer fridge life
They prefer a lighter, brighter flavor
What Makes This Eggless Caesar Dressing So Good? (Psst: It’s Not Mayo!)
Fresh lemon juice brings brightness.
Capers add briny depth instead of anchovies (but I wouldn’t fault you for adding one in.)
Dijon mustard helps emulsify and adds sharpness
Worcestershire sauce delivers savory umami.
Grapeseed oil + olive oil create a silky texture without overpowering flavor.
Fresh garlic gives that unmistakable Caesar punch.

I prefer to use my immersion blender to make this, but you can use a top loading blender too. Into your blender carafe, combine the lemon juice, capers, Dijon, garlic, anchovy (if using), and Worcestershire. Blend until homogenous. While blending, drizzle in the neutral oil, then the olive oil. Season to taste with Kosher salt and black pepper.
Combine all ingredients except oil, Kosher salt, and black pepper in the bowl of a food processor or blender, and pulse until the garlic and capers are finely chopped. With the motor running, drizzle in the grapeseed oil, then the olive oil. Season to taste with Kosher salt and black pepper.
