Best Caesar Dressing - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 whole egg, plus 1 yolk
1 (2 ounce) can anchovies
2 teaspoons capers
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 pinch salt and pepper
2 cups vegetable oil
5 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Preparation
-
Place whole egg and egg yolk in a bowl of food processor and pulse to combine. Add anchovies that have been drained, and capers to the egg. Blend until pale/light yellow and frothy.
Add garlic and mustard. Blend, again.
Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend again.
With food processor running, pour in 1 1/2 cups of the oil in a slow drizzle/stream. Add parmesan. Continue blending. Add the rest of the oil in a slow drizzle.
Check consistency. If the dressing is too thick (like mayonnaise), add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, blending with each addition, until you reach the desired consistency. Personally, I like it thick like mayo, but make it to your desired consistency.
I like to add shredded (not grated) parmesan on my salad after I've mixed the lettuce with the dressing. Crumbled bacon is also good mixed in the salad.
