Caesar Salad Dressing
Don’t leave out the anchovies, even if you think you don’t like them! Most people never even know they’re in there — they just add a little salty-rich something you can’t quite put your finger on. This makes more dressing than you need for one dinner, but it’s great to have it on hand for a few more salads.
kitchen gear
- Cutting board
- Garlic press or sharp knife (adult needed)
- Measuring spoons
- Measuring cup
- Blender or food processor (adult needed)
- Rubber scraper
- Lidded container
Ingredients
- 4 large garlic clove, peeled and minced
- 2 anchovy fillets
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Put the garlic, anchovies, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in the blender or food processor fitted with a steel blade and put the top on tightly. Turn the machine on and process until it looks thoroughly combined (you may need to stop the machine and use a rubber scraper to push everything down from the sides).
- While the machine is running, gradually add the olive oil through the feed tube (or, if you’re using a blender, through the hole in the lid) and process until it looks creamy.
- Pour into the container, cover, and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
