Alternate Method:
To make the dressing in a mini food processor or a standard kitchen blender for this salad dressing.
Place the garlic, egg yolk, lemon juice, anchovies, both mustards and the Worcestershire sauce into the container. Blitz the mixture for a few seconds until it is thoroughly combined and smooth.
In the opening of the container lid, while the motor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and process until the dressing is thick and creamy.
Turn off the motor and add the Parmesan cheese and black or white pepper, then process again to blend together.
The Parmesan cheese is salty so taste the dressing before adding additional salt.
Transfer the Caesar salad dressing to a lidded container and refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
Anchovy paste can be substituted for the anchovies....it is more concentrated so use only 1/2 teaspoon.
If not using anchovies or anchovy paste I would suggest adding an additional teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.
Pasteurized eggs are safe eggs and they are sold in the local grocery store by Davidson’s Safest Choice® Eggs brand
This dressing will keep in a covered container, refrigerated for one week.
For an egg-less dressing, substitute 2-3 tablespoons of mayonnaise for the egg yolk.
