Can I make this Caesar dipping sauce ahead of time?
Yes. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors meld and deepen over time.
What vegetables pair best with this Caesar dip?
Roasted Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, and carrots all work well. It also complements celery and cucumber for a raw option.
How do I adjust the anchovy flavor?
Start with 1 tsp anchovy paste as written. If the flavor is too strong, reduce to 1/2 tsp; for more depth, increase to 1.5 tsp.
Is this recipe dairy-free or vegan?
No—it contains mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese. For vegan, substitute vegan mayo and nutritional yeast; dairy-free requires vegan mayo and dairy-free Parmesan alternative.
Can I use pre-minced garlic instead of garlic paste?
Yes, use 1 tsp pre-minced garlic, though garlic paste dissolves more smoothly and avoids visible bits in the sauce.
