You can make this Caesar dressing recipe by hand, in a blender, a food processor, or an immersion blender. Directions for all methods are below. I particularly love the texture you achieve when making it by hand (you see little bits of garlic and anchovy). Oh, and don’t forget the homemade croutons! It makes such a fantastic salad, and I love this for my family’s favorite chicken Caesar salad made with Greek marinated chicken.
