Caesar Dressing

Caesar Dressing

Rich, salty, and garlicky — with an anchovy backbone that gives it that savory depth you can't quite place.

Time: 10 minutes  ·  Yield: About 240 ml (1 cup)

Ingredients

  • 2 large egg yolks (or 3 Tbsp mayonnaise for a shortcut)
  • 3 anchovy fillets (or 1 Tbsp anchovy paste)
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 120 ml (½ cup) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 30 g (⅓ cup) finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Method

  1. In a food processor or blender, combine the egg yolks, anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Blend until smooth.
  2. With the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until the dressing is thick and emulsified.
  3. Add the Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Pulse to combine. Taste and adjust — more lemon for brightness, more anchovy for depth.
  4. *Storage:** Refrigerator for up to 5 days (contains raw egg yolks).
