Caesar dressing is one of the best dressings available!

The dressing is made based on homemade mayonnaise with lemon juice and crushed garlic. The mayonnaise is then mixed with finely grated parmesan.

Whether or not chopped anchovy fillet should be in the Caesar dressing is debated by experts. Personally, I prefer to skip anchovies, but in any case, the anchovy is chopped so finely that it's not noticeable in the dressing apart from giving flavor. You can also flavor the dressing with a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.

Caesar dressing is, of course, served with the famous Caesar salad, but it also tastes great with other types of salads or as a dip for vegetables and potato chips.

Ingredients:

♥ 2 egg yolks
♥ 1 tsp Dijon mustard
♥ 0.5 lemon, pressed juice
♥ 1 clove of garlic
♥ 2 dl rapeseed oil (or other neutral oil)
♥ 40 g finely grated parmesan
♥ ground salt and pepper

Instructions:

Place egg yolks, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and crushed garlic clove in a narrow and tall container (suitable for an immersion blender). Quickly blend together with the immersion blender.

Then pour in a little oil at a time while continuously blending with the immersion blender. Pause occasionally with the oil and let the immersion blender run a bit extra between each addition of oil. It is important that the oil is gradually incorporated this way; otherwise, the mixture can separate. Eventually, you will see a thick, light yellow mayonnaise forming.

Transfer the mayonnaise into a bowl. Add finely grated parmesan.
 

Taste and adjust with a bit more salt, pepper, and lemon juice if needed. Adjust the thickness of the dressing with a bit of warm water if you find it too thick.
 

Caesar dressing is an incredibly good dressing!
 

Tips:

♥ I use store-bought, grated parmesan so that the cheese is really finely ground and not noticeable in the dressing.

♥ I usually make the Caesar dressing without anchovies. If you want to make the dressing with anchovies, you can mash 2 anchovy fillets with the immersion blender together with the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and crushed garlic clove – that is, before adding the oil.

♥ Feel free to flavor the Caesar dressing with about 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce.

♥ Stir 1 tablespoon of warm water into the dressing if you think it's too thick.

♥ The Caesar dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap so that a skin does not form on the surface.
