Cheesecake Factory Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe
Caesar salad is a classic dish that’s loved for its rich, tangy dressing. Today, we’re sharing our favorite recipe for Cheesecake Factory Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe, which you can easily make at home.
Ingredients
- 1 fresh garlic clove minced into a paste
- 2 anchovy fillets minced into a paste
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ⅓ cup neutral oil avocado oil recommended
- 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by mincing the garlic clove and anchovy fillets. You want to chop them very finely, turning them into a paste. This step can be done by mincing them first and then dragging your knife across the cutting board to achieve a smooth consistency. If you prefer, you can use a blender or food processor to make quick work of this step.
- In a mixing bowl, combine one egg yolk, a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined.
- Slowly stream in the neutral oil (we recommend avocado oil) while continuously whisking. This gradual addition of oil allows the dressing to thicken and become creamy. If you’re using a blender or food processor, you can add the oil all at once and blend until the dressing is emulsified.
- Add the garlic and anchovy paste to the dressing, followed by four tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Finally, season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. And there you have it—a creamy, flavorful Caesar dressing that will elevate any salad!

Notes
Store leftover Cheesecake Factory Caesar Salad Dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Since it contains raw egg yolk, it’s best to use it within 2-3 days to ensure freshness and safety. Before serving, give the dressing a good stir as it may separate slightly in the fridge. Enjoy the same creamy taste every time!
