Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe
Description
The Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe centers on anchovies and garlic processed finely before emulsifying with pasteurized eggs and lemon juice. Olive oil is slowly drizzled in to achieve a thick, creamy consistency, finished with grated Parmesan cheese and sea salt. The resulting dressing provides a rich, slightly tangy, and savory flavor profile typical of Caesar dressing, offering a creamy texture that clings well to salad greens.
This dressing pairs well with romaine lettuce, croutons, and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the classic Caesar salad experience. You can also use it as a flavorful dip for vegetables or grilled meats.
Chef notes include options for making the dressing up to 3 days ahead and storing it up to 5 days refrigerated. If mixing by hand, adding Dijon mustard helps emulsify the dressing. Substitutions such as mayonnaise for eggs and omitting anchovies are possible to suit dietary needs or personal taste.
Ingredients
- 6-8 anchovies
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 egg pasteurized
- lemon juice of 1 large
- 1 cup olive oil
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- salt sea salt
Instructions
- Add the anchovies and garlic to a food processor and pulse 20-30 times until the ingredients are finely chopped.
- Next, add in the eggs and ½ of the lemon juice and process on high for 20 seconds until completely mixed together and smooth.
- While processing at high speed, slowly drizzle in the oil until it becomes thick and creamy.
- Finish by adding in the cheese, remaining ½ lemon juice, and salt, and process on low speed until combined.
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- This dressing can be prepared up to three days in advance and should be stored covered in the refrigerator.
- Use Dijon mustard when whisking by hand to help emulsify the mixture properly.
- Mayonnaise may replace eggs for those preferring to avoid raw or pasteurized eggs.
- Omitting anchovies is acceptable but will alter the classic flavor profile.
- Keep refrigerated and consume within five days for best quality.
