Ingredients
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 4 pieces Anchovy fillets
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. Alternatively, mash them into a paste using a mortar and pestle for a smoother texture.
Step 2
Chop the anchovy fillets into small pieces, almost paste-like, and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, anchovy paste, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until fully combined.
Step 4
Add the lemon juice and egg yolk to the bowl, whisking vigorously until the mixture has a creamy consistency.
Step 5
While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a thin stream to emulsify the dressing. The mixture should thicken slightly as the oil is incorporated.
Step 6
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 7
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
Step 8
Use this dressing to toss with crisp Romaine lettuce leaves and croutons for an epic Caesar salad or as a dip for fresh veggies.
