Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe

Source
I have an addiction. To Epicure Selections. It’s a fantastic line of spices, dip mixes, soup bases, and a bazillion other delectable creations. I use something from Epicure every day. Every. Single. Day. I have an entire kitchen shelf devoted to my collection.

I’m not a sales consultant, or being paid or compensated to write this post, I just honestly love the products. There is no salt or fillers added, it’s just spices. It’s a Canadian product line, based out of BC, and they have something for every taste.

One of the first products I was introduced to about 6 years ago (by my lovely friend Kim!) was the Caesar Salad Dressing mix. It makes the most garlicky, delicious Caesar dressing. It’s something I always have on hand and mix up big batches for family dinners and block party BBQs.

If you have never tried Epicure, but are interested, you can find a consultant on their webpage. The consultants can do home-based parties and bring a variety of products for your guests to try out. It’s fantastic, trust me.

Here is my recipe for the most amazing Caesar salad dressing. I’ll be making a big batch of it today to use this week for my weekly menu plan of dinners! The regular recipe calls for 2 tbsp mayonnaise and ¼ cup of olive oil, but I’ll lighten it up by using ¼ cup of low fat Greek Yogurt instead.
