Steps:
- Nice texture but I modified the recipe below based on ingredients listed above to cut the oily taste. Added more Garlic, Dijon, Lemon juice, Anchovies & added Worcester. Using the side of a sturdy knife (or a mortar and pestle), mash 1 small garlic clove and a pinch of kosher salt until reduced to a paste. Add 6 anchovies; mash and chop until well combined and nearly smooth. Scrape into a medium bowl. Whisk in 3/4 teaspoons Dijon mustard, then 2 large egg yolks and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; whisk to blend. Working drop by drop to start, add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil followed by 1/2 cup vegetable oil; whisk constantly until dressing is thick and glossy. Whisk in 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan. Season with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired.

Steps:
- 1. First the quick way and then the traditional way.
- 2. Quick Way: Add two hard boiled egg yolks (yolk only) to blender. (I don' eat raw eggs since the scare of the late '60s early '70s.) Not afraid of raw eggs, use raw yolks. Then add all but the Salt and Pepper. Blend well. Taste. Add Salt and Pepper if desired. Anchovies are salty in their own right.
- 3. Serve with Romaine Lettuce (Classical) or lettuce of choice. I do love to add a bit of Endive or Escarole (Same thing), it has a bit of a bitter taste with crunch to the tooth.
- 4. Traditional Way: Rub Extra Virgin Olive Oil and then Garlic Cloves completely on the inside of a large or medium sized bowl which you will be adding Lettuce to. I use a folded paper towel or my fingers to do this.
- 5. Then add the two well beaten egg yolks, add the Anchovy fillets and mash well. Again mix yolks and add 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Mix and stir well. Add Parmesan and mix again.
- 6. Add Lettuce and Toss well. Gathering from the bottom. Serve. Enjoy
- 7. Note Added 10/9/11: Typically served with Romaine Lettuce. I like to add a little Endive or Escarole as well.
Tips:
- Use good quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the final flavor of your Caesar dressing. Use a good quality olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Make sure your ingredients are cold: The colder your ingredients are, the better your dressing will emulsify. Place your eggs, milk, and olive oil in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before making the dressing.
- Emulsify the dressing slowly: When adding the olive oil to the egg yolks, do it slowly in a thin stream while whisking constantly. This will help prevent the dressing from separating.
- Season the dressing to taste: Once the dressing is emulsified, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper.
- Serve the dressing immediately: Caesar dressing is best served immediately after making it. If you need to store it, keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Caesar dressing is a classic dressing that is perfect for salads, sandwiches, and wraps. It is easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a delicious Caesar dressing that your family and friends will love.
