Caesar Dressing
Description
This Caesar Dressing recipe mixes classic ingredients into a smooth, creamy emulsion. Mayonnaise forms the base, providing richness and thickness. Fresh lemon juice brightens the mix while garlic adds pungency. Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce contribute layers of tang and savory complexity. Anchovy paste brings umami savoriness without fishiness, and Parmesan cheese adds nuttiness and saltiness to round out the flavor.
The dressing can be whisked quickly and used immediately to dress crisp romaine or other salad greens. Its thick texture helps it cling well to leaves and salad components like croutons and Parmesan shavings.
Because the ingredients are fresh and simple, the dressing keeps well for about a week in a sealed container refrigerated. This allows convenient make-ahead use for salads.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste or 2 anchovies, minced
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- salt to taste, kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, kosher salt and freshly ground
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, anchovy paste, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
Notes
- The dressing can be prepared up to one week in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
