Notes
*Lighter variation: Try a lighter version of the dressing by swapping in Greek yogurt and olive oil for part of the mayo. We like it even better!
Vegan variation: Go to Vegan Caesar Dressing.
**Anchovy paste really does add that classic Caesar flavor, but Worcestershire sauce works too (or a Worcestershire substitute). If all you can find is whole anchovy fillets, blend 2 anchovy fillets to make 1 teaspoon anchovy paste. Keep in mind that anchovy paste has added vinegar and spices and is milder in flavor.
