Dressings and Vinaigrettes Recipes

Classic Creamy American Caesar Salad Dressing

This whisks the egg yolk with lemon juice and garlic first before slowly streaming in the oil, the same emulsifying technique used for mayonnaise, which is what gives a scratch made Caesar dressing its thick, creamy body instead of a thin, oily texture. Mashing the anchovy fillets into a paste rather than mincing them is what lets their savory flavor blend seamlessly through the dressing instead of leaving distinct fishy bits.
