Making your own Caesar salad dressing is so much better than buying it ready-made in a shop – the fresh taste is amazing. Choose big, meaty anchovies that aren’t too salted or cured from a deli or online shop for a proper dressing.

INGREDIENTS
SERVES: 4
5 salted anchovy fillets
2 egg yolks
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
300ml vegetable oil
100g Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon
cayenne pepper, to taste
METHOD
1: Place the anchovy fillets, the egg yolks, garlic, Dijon mustard and white wine vinegar in a food processor and blend together.
2: With the motor running, slowly add the vegetable oil until it emulsifies and thickens.
3: Add the Parmesan and lemon juice and season with cayenne.
4: Taste to see if it needs any salt – it probably won’t because of the saltiness of the anchovies and the Parmesan.
5: Transfer the dressing to a bowl, cover and store in the fridge until needed. This will keep for up to a week.
