    Basil Caesar Dressing

    Oh, hi! Welcome to OMGFOOD's first post of 2015!

    It's a short post. It's a yummy post! It's basil caesar dressing.

    This tasty dressing recipe was inspired by an awesome salad I had when visiting Portland, Oregon back in June and the dressing on it was a basil kefir dressing. As soon as I got back from my trip, one of the first things I made for myself to eat was a version of that salad. Don't worry, the salad will be posted really soon, too! Until then, secrets!

    My attempt at this dressing was a somewhat-paleo approach (it has Worcestershire sauce in it and the kind I have has sugar as an ingredient). It came out really good on the first try; I only made some minor tweaks to make it better (turns out too much garlic is a thing).

    This dressing is made with homemade mayo and it's zesty with a subtle hint of basil. Delicious!

    There's not much more to say about this, really. It's a tasty dressing that would go good on any salad and it's easy to make! Especially if you own a small food chopper. If you don't own one, you should fix that! I use this and it works great (you can use the immersion blender to make mayo super fast).

    You should absolutely make this and let me know how you liked it!

    • 1 garlic clove, chopped

    • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard

    Notes

    - *Make sure you use a microplane for the lemon zest or a small grater; you don't want long strips of zest for this recipe.
    - *If you don't own a food chopper, finely mince the garlic and basil and mix with the rest of the ingredients.

      I live in the Portland area, where did you have the dressing? I have been looking for a recipe similar to Garden Bar. My absolute favorite dressing. I cannot wait to try yours!

        Hi Nicole! Late reply here, sorry about that. I had the salad and dressing at Garden Bar, actually! I'd love to revisit this recipe to make with yogurt or kefir (and some cheese!) soon, but I think homemade mayo is a pretty good substitute in the meantime. I hope you enjoyed the recipe if you made it!
