This homemade Caesar dressing is a flavorful and creamy addition to your salads, made with the robust tastes of anchovies, garlic, and parmesan cheese. It's perfect for those looking to elevate their salad game with a touch of classic, savory goodness.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chopped anchovies, minced garlic, and a dash of salt. Using the back of a spoon or a whisk, mix these ingredients until they are well integrated.
- Add the egg yolks to the anchovy and garlic mixture. Whisk thoroughly until the yolks are fully incorporated.
- Gradually pour in the lemon juice while continuing to whisk. This will help to blend the flavors and start to emulsify the dressing.
- Add the mustard to the mix and whisk until everything blends together nicely.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while constantly whisking the mixture. This helps to emulsify the dressing, creating a creamy consistency.
- Next, gradually add the vegetable oil in the same manner, continuing to whisk until all the oil is incorporated and the dressing is smooth.
- Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and black pepper. Mix well until the cheese is fully integrated into the dressing.
- Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
- Transfer the Caesar dressing to a glass jar or airtight container.
- Store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or stir well before each use.
Tips:
- Use high-quality anchovies for a better depth of flavor.
- If you find the anchovy taste too strong, you can reduce the number of anchovies or rinse them before using.
- Crush the garlic cloves well to avoid any large pieces in the dressing.
- Gradually add the oils while whisking to ensure the dressing emulsifies properly.
- For a tangier flavor, you can increase the amount of lemon juice or add a bit of vinegar.
- If you prefer a smoother dressing, blend all the ingredients in a food processor.
- Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within a week.
After following these steps, you will have a delicious homemade Caesar dressing that is perfect for drizzling over fresh romaine lettuce or using as a dip. Enjoy the rich, umami flavors and the satisfaction of creating your own dressing from scratch.
