CopyCat Outback Steakhouse Caesar Salad Dressing

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp anchovy paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, about 2 tbsp, juiced
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, anchovy paste, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard until smooth and well combined.

Slowly stir in the fresh lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce until fully blended.

Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese until evenly incorporated—this thickens the dressing and builds authentic Caesar flavor.

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Go light on the salt; the anchovy and Parmesan are already salty.

Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.

Stir, then serve chilled over crisp romaine, or use as a dip or spread. If too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of water, olive oil, or lemon juice.
