Classic Caesar Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk the mayonnaise, anchovy paste and garlic together in a small bowl. Whisk in the lemon juice, 2 teaspoons water and a few grinds of pepper until blended.

Steps:

• In blender, mix egg yolks, garlic and anchovies into a paste.
• Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT olive oil. Mix a few seconds.
• Slowly add olive oil until dressing is thick and creamy. Add more or less olive oil depending on desired consistency.
• Serve mixed in chopped romaine lettuce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Soak the anchovies in a bowl of water, 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry, then finely chop and mash to form a paste; set aside.
• Make the croutons: Combine the butter with the garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; cook, swirling the pan occasionally, 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour into a medium bowl. Add the bread cubes and parsley and toss; season with salt and pepper. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes; let cool.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Gently lower the egg into the water, then immediately remove the pan from the heat and let stand 5 minutes. Drain and rinse the egg under cold water; crack into a large bowl. Whisk in the anchovy paste, the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and mustard powder until smooth. Whisk in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until emulsified; season with salt and pepper.
• Add the lettuce, croutons and about one-third of the Parmesan to the bowl with the dressing and gently toss. Divide among plates and top with the remaining Parmesan.

Steps:

• Put 2 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet large enough to hold the bread in a single layer and turn heat to medium. When oil shimmers, add bread and sprinkle with salt and pepper; brown lightly on all sides, adding a little more oil if necessary. Remove and set aside.
• Rub the inside of a salad bowl with the garlic clove; discard it. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Pierce a tiny hole in the broad end of each egg with a pin or needle and boil them for 60 to 90 seconds; they will just begin to firm up. Crack them into the salad bowl, being sure to scoop out the white that clings to the shell.
• Beat eggs with a fork. Gradually add lemon juice and 6 tablespoons oil, beating all the while. Stir in anchovies and Worcestershire. Taste and add salt if needed, and lots of pepper. Toss well with lettuce; top with Parmesan and croutons; toss again at table. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the first 10 ingredients; cover and process until blended. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Chill until serving.

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients.
• Use hand blender to make really smooth.
• Add a little hot water to make thinner. Do not add too much water or it can allow the dressing to separate when storing.

Steps:

• Mash the anchovy with the garlic and salt until it is a paste. Whisk in the mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice mustard and worcestershire sauce and combine well. Whisk in the olive oil and then the parmesan cheese. Chill. Whisk again just before mixing with the salad leaves then top with the croutons.
