Ingredients

• 2 units Garlic cloves
• 3 units Anchovy filets
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 unit Egg yolk
• 1 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife, or crush them into a paste using the back of your knife blade.

Step 2

On a cutting board, add the minced garlic and anchovy filets. Use the side of a knife to mash them together into a smooth paste.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the garlic-anchovy paste, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, egg yolk, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.

Step 4

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the mixture. Whisk until the dressing is thick and creamy.

Step 5

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more lemon juice for acidity or Parmesan for a creamier texture if desired.

Step 7

Transfer the Caesar dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. It can be stored for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

Step 8

Drizzle the dressing over a Caesar salad and toss well to combine before serving.
