How to Make Healthy Caesar Dressing.

A glass jar of creamy Caesar dressing with parmesan and lemon

Serves 6–8 · Prep: 5 min

Make It

  1. Add ¼ cup avocado oil mayonnaise, 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, 1 small garlic clove minced, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, and ¼ tsp sea salt to a small bowl.

  2. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

  3. Stir in 2 Tbsp freshly grated parmesan.

  4. Taste and adjust the lemon, garlic or salt.

  5. Thin with 1–2 Tbsp water if needed.

Notes

  • Check your mayonnaise. Most jars are made with soybean or canola oil, so look for one made with avocado oil only.

  • For a more traditional flavor, add ½ tsp anchovy paste. That salty depth is what makes Caesar taste like Caesar.

  • Dairy-free: skip the parmesan, or swap it for 1–2 Tbsp nutritional yeast. Start with 1, since it is stronger than parmesan.

  • Grate the parmesan fresh. Pre-grated is coated in anti-caking starch and will not melt into the dressing.

  • Pour it over a No B.S. Salad with grilled chicken, or use it in Tofu Caesar Summer Rolls.

  • Counts as Healthy Fats at 2 Tbsp.
