    The best Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing uses just a couple ingredients and a whisk. It’s easy, impressive, and of course absolutely delicious!

    One of my top secrets for bomb homemade salads? Bomb homemade dressing! People get REALLY impressed when you say you made your salad dressing, which is a little silly because it’s just so EASY. If you can use a whisk, you can make this Homemade Caesar Dressing! My recipe pairs perfectly with my Best Caesar Salad and originally came from my mom’s best friend (and Life is But a Dish celebrity!) Cheri Chicago.

      Hi Laney- definitely going to try this recipe, but can you explain your scale- is 1x one serving or enough for a salad for 4?

      Thanks!
