Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Anchovy fillets
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by mincing the anchovy fillets finely and mashing them with the side of a knife until they form a paste.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the minced anchovies, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
Add the mayonnaise to the mixture and stir until the ingredients are fully integrated and smooth.
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese. Ensure the cheese is evenly mixed to avoid any clumping.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continually whisking to emulsify the dressing.
Season the dressing with salt and freshly ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting if necessary.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve over your favorite lettuce, topped with additional Parmesan cheese and croutons for a classic Caesar salad experience.
