I've bought salad dressings, french and the like but in the end, I'm hunting for the classic Caesar.
In the end I had to make it.
I've made a Caesar before. It was a quick make for a big family dinner, after I've done a heavy dessert earlier in the day. So I thought to make it again. Here is the recipe. Now, try to do the salad justice with the mayo and oil, but the rest can be worked with and tweeked.
It has anchovy paste in it, and the supermarket/grocery store didn't have any. So I made it. Couldn't be that hard? It was nice to make something from scrap.

I learned this years ago . . .:
ReplyDeleteone board
three cloves of garlic more or less crushed and skinned
dash of salt on the board mince garlic, the salt absorbs the garlic oil, put aside
three egg yolks in a bowl
add about a cup of olive oil slowly while beating the eggs to form an emultion.
add the juice of half a lemon, the minced garlic and salt, plus a couple dashes of worstshire sauce (sp) and a generous, or not, dash of Cayenne pepper
and mix together.
lastly add one cup of powdered parmesian cheese and mix together.
this is all from memory, but it tastes great! add deceased tiny fish if you desire.
