Truffletopia "Classic" Caesar Dressing

Everyone loves a good Caesar Salad Dressing, and when it's done right, it's a perfect way to elevate a simple salad of Romaine Lettuce. Making caesar dressing is very simple. All it takes is the right amount of ingredients and blending them together.

Caesar dressing is named after Caesar Cardini, an Italian Immigrant of San Diego, California, who owned restaurants in the United States and Mexico. The caesar salad was invented at his Tijuana restaurant in the 1920s, a restaurant that was opened to circumvent prohibition for Californians that were willing to travel. Cardini said that the salad became known in 1937 when the recipe was given to Hollywood restaurants by a department head of Paramount Pictures.

Throughout time, there have been multiple takes on the dressing: with or without anchovies, with lime instead of lemon, and with more or less Worcestershire sauce.

This is a simple Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe made by Chef Abe of Thanks4HavingMe in Island Park, New York. 


Chef Abe has provided 2 simple methods to recreate his famous Truffletopia "Classic" Caesar Dressing. Method one, the Immersion Blender/Blender Method, allows you to simply add your ingredients, blend, drizzle oil, and then season to taste. Method two, the Original Method, whisks the ingredients together before seasoning to taste. You really can't go wrong with either method, it is simply your preference and based on the kitchen tools you have or want to use.


If you'd prefer to make this salad as an entire meal and would like to add chicken, simply season and grill chicken to top the salad.
