A creamy and quick-to-prepare Caesar dressing, without raw eggs and without anchovies. Perfect for enhancing all your salads.

💡 Chef Tips
Choosing your oil: It is strongly recommended to use a light olive oil or a neutral oil rather than extra virgin to avoid a bitter or overpowering taste that would mask the other flavors.
Flavors: Although this recipe is anchovy-free, you can add a small amount of anchovy paste if you want to recreate the typical flavor profile of the classic dressing.
