Yield Serves 20 generously

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

For Caesar mayonnaise
1/2 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 3 ounces)
1 teaspoon mashed drained anchovy fillet, or to taste
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound green beans
1 pound wax beans
1 pound purple beans*
6 bunches assorted red and white radishes with tops*
*available at specialty produce markets and some specialty foods shops

Steps:

Make Caesar mayonnaise:
Chop parsley and mash garlic to a paste with salt. In a bowl stir together parsley, garlic paste, and remaining mayonnaise ingredients and season with salt if necessary. Mayonnaise may be made 1 week ahead and chilled, covered.
Trim beans and have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. In a large kettle of boiling salted water blanch green beans and wax beans separately 2 minutes, or until colors brighten but beans are still crisp, transferring to ice water to stop cooking. (Do not blanch purple beans or they will lose their color.) Drain beans and pat dry. Beans may be blanched 1 day ahead and chilled in sealable plastic bags.
Trim radishes, leaving some small green leaves attached.
Serve crudités with mayonnaise.

Tips:

For a classic Caesar mayonnaise, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese, anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Use a high-quality mayonnaise as the base of your sauce.
Adjust the ingredients to taste. Add more or less anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until you reach the desired flavor.
You can make your own anchovy paste by blending anchovies with a little olive oil.
If you don't have anchovies, you can use a pinch of fish sauce or soy sauce.
Add a splash of white wine or champagne vinegar for a brighter flavor.
Garnish your Caesar mayonnaise with freshly chopped parsley, chives, or tarragon.

With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own Caesar mayonnaise that tastes as good as, or even better than, store-bought varieties.
