Creamy Caesar Dressing

A bold, garlicky emulsion of anchovy, lemon, and Parmesan that makes the ultimate Caesar salad without ever reaching for the bottle.

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the grated garlic, anchovy paste, egg yolk, Dijon, lemon juice, and Worcestershire until smooth and uniform.

  2. 2

    While whisking constantly, drizzle in the olive oil one teaspoon at a time at first, then in a thin, steady stream as the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify into a creamy dressing.

  3. 3

    Whisk in the grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper until fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust with more lemon for brightness or salt as needed; the dressing should be tangy, savory, and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

  5. 5

    Use immediately over crisp romaine, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days, whisking again before serving.
