Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe from Scratch (video)

[Saviolo]

Making caesar salad dressing is very similar to making mayonnaise. Basically, you are emulsifying oil into egg yolk with the help of some mustard to help bind everything together. There are, obviously, a few other ingredients involved, as well! Anchovy paste is a frequent addition to the recipe, but it's not always easy to find it in stores, and not everyone likes it, so it's okay to leave out. We like it because it adds this delightful umami richness to the recipe that we quite enjoy.

We added a lot of lemon juice to ours, because we enjoy the dressing to be a little tart to combat the bitterness of whatever greens we're using. The croutons are very versatile, and you can make a lot of changes to that part of the recipe. Herbs are a delightful addition to the croutons, and a little bit of dried oregano, basil, or rosemary can be added before they are baked. Also, we let the croutons soak up all of the garlic bits, but the remaining garlic oil in the bowl was enough to infuse the dressing with a pronounced (but not overpowering) garlic aroma.
