- If you prefer, you can substitute fresh garlic for garlic powder by using one clove of minced garlic.
- To make the dressing creamier, consider adding a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt.
- For a vegetarian version, simply omit the Worcestershire sauce or use a vegetarian alternative.
With this recipe, you can now enjoy a fresh and wholesome Caesar Salad with a homemade dressing that outshines any store-bought version.
