Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe
Description
The Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe uses room temperature ingredients including egg and olive oil, ensuring proper emulsification when blended with an immersion blender. The grated Parmigiano Reggiano adds a salty richness, and garlic lends pungency. Fresh lemon juice and Dijon mustard create tang and stabilize the dressing's texture. Anchovy paste introduces umami, complementing the other flavors. The method involves blending all ingredients in a jar until creamy and well combined, then adjusting seasoning to taste, especially for anchovy, lemon, and pepper.
This dressing is ideal for coating romaine lettuce or adding flavor to salads and can be made ahead and refrigerated. The recipe recommends consuming within two weeks for best freshness and safety due to the use of raw egg.
Ingredients
- 1 egg at room temperature, pasteurized
- 1 cup olive oil mild or extra virgin, your choice, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese grated
- 1 clove garlic smashed (add 1 more clove if you love garlic)
- 4 Tbsp lemon juice fresh
- 1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper fresh cracked
- 1 1/2 tsp anchovy paste
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients in a large mason jar. Make sure your egg and oil are at room temperature.
- Put an immersion blender down into the jar, and turn on. Blend, pulling up as you go, until the dressing has emulsified. This will only take a few seconds. Give it a stir, and then taste to adjust the seasoning. Tasting is key to getting it just perfect. You may want a little more anchovy, or lemon. I always add more cracked pepper.
- Keep refrigerated and eat within two weeks.
