Notes
- FODMAPs: See post above for detailed FODMAP information on each ingredient.
- Anchovy paste: if this ingredient scares you, just know that it doesn't make the dressing taste fishy, nor do you have to handle any fish as you are using the easy-to-use paste, which can be found in many grocery stores in the condiments or refrigerated seafood section as well as on Amazon.
- Small vs. salad bowl: If you’re not anticipating leftovers and plan to eat your salad right away, Caesar dressing is traditionally made in the bottom of the salad bowl prior to the salad ingredients being added. If you aren’t eating it right away or don’t plan to eat it all in one sitting, it’s best to make in in a separate bowl so your salad ingredients don’t become mushy.
- Coconut aminos – you can also use Worcestershire sauce, tamari or soy sauce if not eating Paleo/Whole30 – use tamari for gluten-free.
- Salt – the anchovy paste will bring saltiness to the dressing, so taste before adding salt to see if it needs more to your taste.
- Nutritional yeast – if you prefer not to purchase this ingredient and don’t need dairy-free, you can also add finely shredded parmesan cheese to taste for some cheesiness.
- Servings: One batch makes enough dressing for one 4-serving Caesar salad, with a serving size of 2 heaping tablespoons.
- While the low FODMAP Caesar dressing is dairy-free, Paleo, and Whole30 compliant, the cheese used in the salad in these photos is not dairy-free, Paleo or Whole30 compliant.
