Tips for the Best Caesar Dressing

• Use fresh garlic for the best flavor—it really makes a difference.
• Grate your own Parmesan instead of using pre-shredded for a smoother texture.
• Let the dressing sit for 10–15 minutes before serving so the flavors can meld together.
• If it’s too thick, thin it out with a splash of milk or water.
