Caesar Salad Dressing
Made with anchovies, garlic, egg yolks, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, olive oil, palm oil and lemon juice, homemade Caesar salad dressing is rich in flavors! Tastier than any of the bottled stuff you get from the grocery.
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 anchovies
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and finely grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup palm oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Place the anchovies, garlic and salt in a mixing bowl and mash with a fork to make a paste.
- Place the anchovies, garlic, salt, pepper, egg yolks and Dijon mustard.
- Using a wire whisk, mix everything together until creamy in texture, and the anchovies are broken into mere specks.
- With one hand, drizzle in the olive oil, drop by drop at first, while whisking with the other hand to form an emulsion.
- Once your mixture is thick, pour the palm oil in a slow thin stream while continuing to whisk.
- Add the lemon juice and stir until well blended.
- Taste the dressing. Add more salt, pepper or lemon juice, as needed. You don't want it to be too tangy. You're aiming for creamy and a bit salty with a subtle but unmistakable tang.
