Caesar Dip
This Caesar dip is an easy appetizer for your next party and a great recipe to dip your veggies into. It’s made with all the ingredients that goes into Caesar salad dressing – Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon, anchovies, – plus Greek yogurt and a little mayonnaise (which I love adding to my dressing in place of raw egg). Plus, it’s easy to make ahead and requires no fancy equipment! Some more of my favorite quick dips are Ranch Dip, No-Cook Salsa, and Creamy Parmesan Spinach Dip.
What is Caesar dip made of?

- Anchovy Fillets: Anchovies have a salty taste that I love in Ceasar salad! You don’t want to skip them – they “make” the dip! But if you must, you can leave it out. Anchovy paste would also work here.
