Caesar Salad Dressing

This is a fantastic recipe for Caesar salad dressing that I got from a friend’s mom. It’s tart, garlicky, with a hit of pepper, but without the extra anchovies. The egg acts as an emulsifier, blending the oil and the lemon juice into a creamy consistency. For food safety reasons, I used pasteurized egg in a carton instead of a raw egg.

Use a dollop of this dressing to make the classic Caesar salad. Here I tossed the dressing with torn Romaine lettuce and topped it with some Parmesan cheese and homemade croutons.

  2. […] Since reading Confessions of a French Baker, I’ve been baking bread for Ryan and myself. This recipe makes two large loaves. I like to keep one, wrapped in plastic, on the counter to gradually eat during the week, while slicing and wrapping and freezing the other. If the bread goes stale before you manage to finish it, challah makes great french toast or croutons for Caesar salad. […]
