Though this recipe calls for anchovies, egg yolks and Parmesan cheese, real caesar salad dressing can also be made vegetarian or vegan. Substitute 2 tablespoons of mayo, sour cream, Greek yogurt, hummus or tahini for the egg yolks. If you don't want to use anchovies, simply leave them out and increase the Worcestershire sauce to 3 teaspoons. Make sure to use vegan Worcestershire sauce, as most brands include anchovies. For vegan dressing, use vegan cheese.
This simple recipe for Caesar salad dressing uses a straightforward method and basic ingredients you may very well have sitting in the pantry. This recipe yields about 1 cup of dressing, but feel free to double or triple the ingredients if you need a large batch.

Instructions
Step 1
Combine the garlic, anchovies, Dijon, and egg yolks in your blender or food processor. Pulse until smooth. The mixture will look like a thick paste.
Step 2
Add the rest of the ingredients to the blender. Pulse until the dressing is smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides with a silicone spatula. Taste the dressing with a spoon and make any adjustments accordingly; for example, add more lemon juice and Worcestershire if it tastes too bland, or a little more oil if it tastes too salty. If you're sensitive to heat, hold off on adding any hot sauce until the dressing is done, then stir in hot sauce a few drops at a time and test with a clean spoon after each addition.
Step 3
Transfer the dressing from the blender or food processor into a dressing shaker with a pour spout, or into a small serving bowl. Save excess dressing in the dressing shaker or in any glass container with an airtight lid. Use leftover dressing within a week.
