Outback Steakhouse Caesar Salad Dressing

Traci & Jeff Poole1's Note:

This is a wonderful tasting Caesar Salad Dressing that the Outback Steak House uses on the salads. This also makes a wonderful veggie dip as well!

Is this authentic? Although the recipe is close, it seems to be missing a certain spicy kick to it. It's a good dressing, and I agree with the other posters that the salt should be omitted. If anyone knows what that secret something is that it is missing, please let me know! I am no longer in the USA so I can't get my Outback fix!

My favorite part of going to Outback Steakhouse is the caesar salad. I enjoy caesars anywhere, but their dressing is unique. Just for fun, I googled "outback caesar recipe" and got this link. I followed the recipe, and it is AMAZING how similar it is. I have a couple of comments:
This recipe makes almost a QUART of dressing. I cut the recipe in half. While preparing, it seems some ingredients are heavy handed (an OUNCE of garlic for 1/2 recipe!) but it works. I will say that I made it last night and served it immediately, and while I liked it, I thought something was off. I chilled the leftovers in the fridge and had more tonight, and what a difference chilling in the fridge overnight made. It tasted EXACTLY like Outback's tonight. I still have enough for at least 2 more large salads using only 1/2 the recipe. If you like Outbacks caesar, you will love this....but do yourself a favor and prepare a day ahead of when you want to have it, the flavor payoff is so much better.

Never had Caesar salad at Outback but will certainly try now! The original Caesar salad had anchovies in it. I couldn't imagine making it without. The tin I bought contained 2 oz. What to do with the extra 1/4 oz? Put it in as well !! Did not add any salt (that is why I didn't use store bought). Very tasty. It did make a lot. Had Caesar salad for 3 days ! No complaints. My waist management team won't allow me to make this very often, but what they won't know...
