Any recipe for anchovy-free Caesar salad dressing but with the same result as the classic one?

Answer 1

A little tahini will give your Caesar dressing that same kind of complex and savory flavor, without adding an animal protein. Enjoy!

Answer 2

Julia Child actually had the opportunity to meet the original creator of the Caesar salad and believe it or not, it did not have anchovies in it. You can get the recipe from her cook book "Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home" You may be able to find it at the PBS website.

Answer 3

Make the classic and just leave the anchovies out. Simple. But it gives a certain flavor you may miss.

If you are freaked by buying them in little tins, buy the paste in a tube. Much easier to tolerate, and use just a bit, then fridge the rest.

Answer 4

classic Cesar does NOT use anchovies, it uses Worcestershire sauce which contains anchovies.
Alton Brown has a recipe on the food network.
