Caesar salad is a classic dish known for its rich and tangy dressing. Making your own dressing at home can elevate this dish to another level, offering freshness and control over the ingredients. With simple components like anchovies, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, this homemade Caesar dressing will make your salad unforgettable.
- Prepare all ingredients ahead of time to streamline the process.: This includes grating the Parmesan cheese, pressing the garlic, and measuring out all other ingredients.
- Use the freshest ingredients possible.: Fresh lemon juice, high-quality olive oil, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese will make a significant difference in the flavor of your dressing.
- Blend the dressing slowly.: When incorporating the olive oil, add it slowly while whisking or blending to create a creamy, emulsified dressing.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste.: After mixing the dressing, taste it and adjust the salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
- Chill the salad before serving.: For a crisp and refreshing bite, chill the lettuce and dressing separately before combining them just before serving.
This Caesar salad with homemade dressing is not just a side dish but a star in its own right. By crafting your own dressing, you ensure a fresh and full-bodied flavor that store-bought versions can’t match. Serve immediately and enjoy the satisfying combination of crisp lettuce, hearty Parmesan, and savory dressing.
