If you want a traditional Caesar flavor, whisk in the optional anchovy paste at this stage.
While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the dressing is fully emulsified and creamy.

Serve immediately over crisp Romaine lettuce, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
