Notes
- Tips and Tricks for Success
- For the egg yolk and oil based dressing, it's important to add the oil in a very slow and steady stream, while whisking to ensure it emulsifies properly. If the oil is added too quickly the dressing won't get creamy, but will be oily and separated.
- If you want a completely smooth dressing, they can be blended in a food processor, blender or using an immersion blender once the ingredients are mixed together (this goes for both dressings).
- Although I really think that the anchovies are a non-negotiable for true caesar salad dressing, I understand that it's just not for everyone. If you're very opposed to using anchovies you can replace them with Worcestershire sauce (to taste). It won't taste completely the same, but it will get the job done.
