Homemade Caesar Dressing
This bold and creamy Caesar dressing is made with fresh garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, egg yolk, and extra-virgin olive oil—then finished with a generous helping of Parmigiano Reggiano. It’s zesty, savory, and packed with rich umami flavor that clings beautifully to crisp romaine or crunchy croutons.

Ingredients
Instructions
Smash And WhiskOn a cutting board, mash together the garlic and anchovies with a pinch of salt until it forms a paste. (Use the side of your knife like a pro.)Add this paste to a bowl.
Add Yolky GoodnessTo the bowl, add egg yolk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until fully combined.
Emulsify Like a BossSlowly drizzle in the oils while whisking constantly. Go slow at first — you're building a silky emulsion. It should start to thicken and look like a creamy dressing.
Finish With FlavorStir in the grated Parmesan. Add salt and a good crack of black pepper to taste. Want some heat? Red pepper flakes will do the trick.
Taste And AdjustAdd a bit more lemon if it needs brightness. More cheese? Always a good idea. If it’s too thick, whisk in a splash of cold water.
