I’m old enough to remember when servers would come to your
table, crack an egg into a large wooden bowl, and thus begin their creation of
the freshest Caesar salad dressing that you can imagine. This would then be
tossed with crisp greens, served on chilled plates, and not a remnant of
dressing remained behind in that bowl. I love Caesar dressing, but call me
squeamish, I don’t like the idea of raw egg. That’s where this salad dressing
comes in very handy. It can be made two ways, with the mayonnaise, or by substituting
the mayonnaise with olive oil if you’re not looking for a creamy version. Me? I
prefer it with mayonnaise. No, it isn’t Caesar, but it is darned good. Now, dig
out that wooden bowl and crisp up some greens.
½ c. Duke’s
mayonnaise
¼ c. grated fresh Parmesan
1 clove garlic
½ t. capers
½ t. anchovy
paste
½ t. champagne
vinegar
1½ t. Dijon
mustard
1½ t. Worcestershire
sauce
Juice of half a lemon
¼ t. salt
1/8 t. freshly ground black pepper
Place all ingredients into the work bowl of a mini
food processor, and blend until combined.

The anchovy paste is a nice addition, not something I would normally use.
ReplyDeleteAh I remember it very well! I'm squeamish about raw eggs too. Your version sounds just as good if not better.
