Ingredients
- garlic - 2 tsp (minced or crushed)
- Dijon mustard - 1 tbsp (classic Dijon mustard)
- egg yolk - 1 (fresh egg yolk)
- anchovies - 2 (anchovy fillets)
- salt - 1 tsp (fine salt)
- black pepper - 1 tsp (freshly ground)
- olive oil - 1/2 cup (or vegetable oil or preferred oil)
- lemon juice - 1 tbsp (freshly squeezed)
- croutons - watch the video to see (toasted bread cubes)
- Parmesan cheese - watch the video to see (freshly grated)
Instructions
- Make the dressing emulsion: Using an immersion blender (or food processor/blender), combine garlic, Dijon mustard, egg yolk, anchovies, salt, and pepper. Slowly add the olive oil while blending to create a smooth emulsion.
- Add lemon juice: Add the lemon juice to the emulsion and blend briefly to incorporate, resulting in a creamy Caesar dressing.
- Assemble the salad: First, add the dressing to the salad greens and mix well. Then add croutons to absorb any extra dressing. Finally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top to finish.
