This always works for me when I make Ceasar dressing. Unlike authentic Caesar dressings which are made with olive oil and thickened with raw eggs, this one has a mayonnaise base, which means no raw eggs so you don’t have to worry about giving it to your kids. And speaking of kids, mine love this dressing so much that they’ve learned to make it themselves. They don’t even wait for me to make a salad; while I cook dinner, they sit at the kitchen table with a big head of romaine and dip the leaves in. Instead of whole anchovies, I use anchovy paste — makes it easy, especially if you’re squeamish about anchovies (just hold your nose and add it in; the dressing needs every last bit to taste like the real deal!) For the cheese, it’s important to use imported Parmigiano-Reggiano from Italy; domestic Parmesan pales in comparison. You can always tell if it’s authentic by looking at the rind, which is embossed with the name over and over. If the cheese is already grated, it should be labeled “Parmigiano-Reggiano,” not “Parmesan.” Begin by whisking together the garlic, anchovy paste, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Now, whisk in the mayonnaise, Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt, and pepper. Next, throw out that garbage concoction you just threw together and run down to the store to buy a bottle of Newman's Own Ceasar Dressing. They come in Classic, Light, Creamy, Vinaigrette, and even Organic varieties. With so many options, Newman's Own is guaranteed to have a dressing to suit your taste!

That’s all there is to it. Follow me for more recipe hacks.
 
I haven’t made caesar salad dressing before, but does it have any acid in it? If so that should help cut down on risk. Same reason things like whiskey sours are safe to drink even though they usually have an evg white in them.
 
If you wash the eggs with hot water you'll be fine, the salmonella comes from the chicken's fecal matter. And crack them on a flat surface so the outside of the shell doesn't touch the egg inside.

I used to have chickens and enjoyed many raw egg concoctions without ever getting sick. My favorite is probably a whiskey sour with a beaten egg white.

If you ever make sushi at home use quality farm-raised fish and freeze it first. The wild stuff can have parasites and they're not always visible.

I've had egg cream soda. I drank a lot of it and never got sick.

Edit because it doesn't have eggs? I always thought it did. The internet says no. But I always heard that it had raw eggs and could make you ill.

No interest in making a mayo based dressing since the whole point is to make an "authentic" dressing.

Im not even sure if using Mayonnaise isnt more authentic, no way they didnt used their freshly made Mayonnaise as base for it.
