Recipe
Invented by an Italian immigrant in Mexico, classic Caesar salad is a favorite across the globe. Though there are as many recipes for Caesar salad dressing as there are cooks, the best Caesar dressing features anchovy and garlic paste, raw egg yolks, mustard, and oil.
Don’t skip anchovies in the recipe — they pack a powerful, salty punch. If you’re not keen on the idea of using raw egg yolks, look for pasteurized whole eggs instead. They have been gently heated to neutralize bacteria. Because Caesar dressing features super flavorful ingredients, they can mask the flavor of a nice olive oil. With this in mind, today’s recipe features only a small amount of olive oil. Additionally, it makes good use of the more neutral vegetable oil. Surely, you’re very excited to attempt making your own Caesar salad dressing. Without further ado, let’s jump into the recipe!
