Traditional Caesar Salad Dressing
Use this dressing in the recipe for Fire-grilled Caesar Salad with Wild Alaskan Salmon.
Ingredients
Preparation
NotesIngredients
- 1 whole egg, coddled (see note) Add to list
- 2 to 4 garlic cloves Add to list
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped Parmigiano Reggiano cheese Add to list
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard Add to list
- 1 anchovy fillet Add to list
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Add to list
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice (or more to taste) Add to list
- 1/2 to 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil Add to list
- Black pepper to taste Add to list
- Dash of cayenne (optional) Add to list
Preparation
Place all of the ingredients except the oil in a food processor and puree. With the machine running, add the oil through the feed tube in a steady stream until the dressing is creamy.
Season to taste with black pepper and cayenne if desired.
Notes
To coddle an egg, place it in barely simmering water for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes (no longer). This will bring the egg to a safe temperature. Remove it and immediately crack it into a bowl. The white may turn a bit translucent, but it will still serve as a perfect base for emulsion.
