This is my new favorite salad! I liked that it wasn't the typical creamy version of the salad. The dressing was lite tasting yet flavorful. I used a mix of romaine and leaf lettuce for color. Make sure to spin the lettuce well, or it will water down the dressing. To save time I even used pre-minced garlic, which I don't normally use for dressings, and it worked great. I have made it with and without croutons and have added sliced English cucumber. For the red onion, I just add about 2 Tblsp of thinkly sliced pieces to not overwhelm the salad. Thank you for posting!

As others have mentioned this really isn't Caesar but it's quite tasty nonetheless. If you would like to try a quality fine restaurant Caesar dressing (that tastes like the dressing the server makes right at your table) you can try mine below. To make this a Lemony Caesar just add 1 tablespoon extra lemon juice at a time. The mayonaisse replaces the raw egg that is traditionally used in a Caesar. I don't care for anchovies but if you like them then mince 2 to 3 anchovies and add to the other dressing ingredients.

Nice homemade dressing. Next time, think I'll put in a little bit of the anchovy paste that I keep in the fridge (and rarely ever use) which should elevate it to more of a caesar salad flavor. But we enjoyed this as is, too.

So fresh and light! I LOVED IT! Didn't add the onion but next time I will, sounds like a good add in. Yum!

The dressing was wonderful, lemony and light. I added bacon, other than that left everything else the same. Will be saving this one!

Good salad, as others have said, but not very caesar-ish. It was easy and simple but very flavorful.

A most excellent salad. Perfect ratio of olive oil to lemon juice. I used only 1/4 tsp. salt. I love garlic, but sometimes find it a bit overwhelming when it's raw, so instead of mincing it, I smashed a clove and just let it hang out in the dressing for a while. I then removed the garlic before serving. This gave the dressing just a nice hint of garlic. I will make this salad again for sure.

Mmm so good! Just what I was looking for because I ran out of ceasar dressing. Had it with half grated and half shredded parmesan.

This was great. It didn't taste like normal caesar salad dressing, but it was still very good. I used spinach instead of lettuce.

Delicious! Sure it's not a true caesar salad, but it's tasty all the same. Good combination of flavors and simple to make. Be sure to use a good quality olive oil :)
