Best Ever Caesar Salad Dressing: A Classic Recipe

Caesar is a celebrity in the world of salads, an international powerhouse and an all-around woman of mystery. She was first introduced in Tijuana, Mexico, by an Italian Chef, Caesar Cardini, in 1924, making her origin and culture both a collaboration and an enigma. At nearly 100 years old, she is still thriving.

Best Ever Caesar Salad Dressing: A Classic Recipe

Creamy, Tangy and sharp, making a traditional Caesar salad dressing is easier than you might think! Finish off the salad with some leaves, croutons and parmesan flakes.


INGREDIENTS:

Yields about 2 cups of dressing

75 Calories per tbsp

Time to make: 15m

5 cloves of garlic

1 tbsp of anchovy paste

Juice of 1.5 Large Lemons

1 tbsp Dijon Mustard

3 egg yolks

3/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup of vegetable oil

Salt and pepper to taste


PREPARATION:

Step 1

Add Garlic, Anchovy paste, Lemon juice, Dijon, Egg yolks and Salt and Pepper into a food processor and pulse together for around 2 mins.

Step 2

While pulsing continuously, slowly drizzle in 1/2 of the vegetable oil. Dressing will begin to thicken.

Step 3

Add in Parmesan, and continue to pulse while you drizzle in the remaining oil. Pulse until the dressing has thickened.

This salad makes a great meal on its own or as a side, and I recommend pairing it with our Grilled Cheese sandwich for a quick and leisurely lunch or our Pistachio-Crusted Lamb for a formal dinner.
