Creamy Tahini Caesar Dressing

If you’ve ever been to a Cava then you likely know about their delicious Tahini Caesar dressing. It has just the right combination of tangy, savory flavor and is perfectly creamy.

As someone who loves tahini, I wanted to recreate a version of this dressing that had a similar flavor but could also be used as a multipurpose dressing for salads or as a dip. I think I nailed it!

This dressing is lemony, bright, and so flavorful. Not only is it delicious, it’s super easy to make!

Tahini Caesar Ingredients

Greek Yogurt: I prefer to use whole milk yogurt for this recipe but low-fat and non-fat will both work.

Tahini: If you’ve never tried tahini before then this is a great first recipe to try! Tahini is a smooth condiment made from toasted ground hulled sesame seeds. It has the consistency of a smooth and drippy nut butter.

Water: You’ll need just a bit to help thin out the dressing.

Garlic: Fresh garlic helps to give the dressing the best flavor.

Lemon Juice: You’ll need the juice of one fresh lemon.

Worcestershire Sauce: This is a key ingredient in Caesar dressing. The flavor is savory, sweet, and has a bit of tang from the vinegar used to make the sauce.

Dijon Mustard: I like to add a little dijon mustard to help emulsify all of the ingredients and give the dressing some extra flavor.

Parmesan Cheese: A must have in Caesar dressing! Plenty of grated parmesan thicken the dressing while also adding a bit of that salty, nutty flavor.

Salt & Pepper: Add salt to suit your tastebuds and plenty of fresh cracked black pepper.

Step Three: Next, whisk in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, crack black pepper, and salt.

You can store the caesar dressing in an air-tight container in the fridge for 5-7 days. I love using a mason jar with a lid for storage.
