Caesar-ish dressing (anchovy vinaigrette) in jar

For those times when you’re craving a good caesar dressing, yet want something a bit lighter, quicker and easier…

…try my favorite 5-ingredient “caesar-ish” dressing! ♡

Technically an anchovy vinaigrette, this dressing packs all of the bold, savory, umami flavors we all love in a traditional caesar, yet leaves out the raw eggs that are usually added for creaminess. The result is a fresh, lemony, garlicky, anchovy-lover’s dressing that we can’t stop making here in our house.

Barclay and I love tossing it with some greens, toasted breadcrumbs, and a sprinkling of Parmesan for what we fondly call our “caesar-ish salad,” which takes all of 10 minutes to whip up and works beautifully as a side salad or entrée. (We especially love serving ours with salmon.) But just like traditional caesar dressing, there are all sorts of other delicious ways that you could put this simple vinaigrette to use with vegetables, seafood, meat, sandwiches, pastas, and more.

So if you love caesar dressing as much as we do, pop open a tin of anchovies (or a tube of anchovy paste) and let’s make a quick batch of this delicious vinaigrette together!

Shallot Vinaigrette (French Vinaigrette)

One of my favorite simple salad dressings that goes with just about everything. ♡

This shallot vinaigrette recipe, also known as a French vinaigrette, is a staple we turn to regularly in our house when we’re looking for something light, bright, and mercifully quick to whip up. The delicate flavor of shallots pairs perfectly with fresh lemon juice, garlic and a hint of Dijon. And while it’s one of those versatile vinaigrettes that can play well with a wide range of ingredients, we honestly find ourselves loving it most on the simplest of green salads here in our house so that those lovely flavors can really shine through. (Current fave is a bowl of crisp butter lettuce, sliced cucumber and a sprinkling of Parm…so good!)

It’s one of those back-pocket recipes that’s great to have on hand when you’re needing a quick side salad, yet also a wonderful and classy way to dress larger entrée salads too. So the next time the salad craving hits, chop up some shallots and let’s make this quick vinaigrette together.
