Description

Homemade Caesar dressing couldnt be easier!
This simple recipe delivers rich, savory flavor.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 anchovy fillets
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Pulse the garlic and anchovies together in a food processor.
  2. Add the egg yolk and process until smooth.
  3. Drizzle in the olive oil a bit at a time until completely incorporated, then with the motor still running, drizzle in the lemon juice.
  4. Add the Worcestershire, Dijon, and black pepper, and pulse to combine.
  5. Taste and add additional salt and pepper as desired.
  6. Store in a sealed jar in the fridge up to 5 days.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  • If you don’t have anchovies, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of fish sauce for a similar umami taste.
  • For a smoother dressing, strain the dressing through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
