Description
A rich and creamy dressing that transforms any salad into a gourmet dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1–2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons capers (drained)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- Optional: a dash of hot sauce or anchovy paste
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Having everything organized makes the process smoother.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Whisk these ingredients together until they are thoroughly blended.
- Add the minced garlic and drained capers to the bowl. These ingredients bring a punch of flavor that characterizes classic Caesar dressing.
- Mix in the Worcestershire sauce and stir well to combine all flavors together. This step will heighten the umami essence that makes the dressing so tasty.
- Gradually fold in the grated Parmesan cheese. The cheese gives the dressing its creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to your liking. If you prefer a bit of heat, feel free to add a dash of hot sauce or a small amount of anchovy paste for an authentic twist.
- Once mixed, taste your dressing! Adjust the seasoning if needed. If you prefer a thinner consistency, whisk in a bit of water or additional lemon juice until it reaches your desired texture.
