Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 pieces Anchovy fillets
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Mince the anchovy fillets and garlic finely, almost to a paste-like consistency, using a sharp knife.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the minced anchovies and garlic with the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce.
Add the egg yolk to the mixture, whisking vigorously to combine thoroughly.
Gradually pour in the olive oil while continuing to whisk constantly. This step is crucial to emulsify the dressing.
Once the oil is fully incorporated, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the dressing is smooth.
Season the dressing with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more lemon juice for tang or more mustard for heat if desired.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
Serve the dressing drizzled over fresh Romaine lettuce for a classic Caesar salad experience.
