CAESAR SALAD DRESSING

CAESAR SALAD DRESSING

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.
