Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe
This Caesar salad dressing blends egg, olive oil, Parmigiano Reggiano, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and anchovy paste into a creamy and tangy emulsified sauce. It's achieved by blending all ingredients until smooth and balanced in flavor, suitable for tossing with romaine lettuce or as a dip. The anchovy paste adds a distinctive savory depth while lemon juice provides brightness.

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.
