Making your own homemade Caesar dressing is easier than you think. You can have the same quality dressing you would find at your favorite restaurant for half the cost and your able to enjoy it in the comfort of your own home. I am not sure if there is any main meal I have had that doesn’t pair perfectly with the refreshing flavor of Caesar dressing. The dressing is rich, creamy and has the perfect balance of anchovies and garlic. Most traditional Caesar dressings are vinaigrette’s thickened with raw eggs, but you don’t need raw eggs to create that same classic flavor.

Ingredients

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1¼ tsp anchovy paste
• ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp course grain mustard
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• For the Croutons:
• 1 load of sourdough bread
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp Italian Seasoning

Instructions

1. For the Croutons:
2. Slice the bread into eight slices, then cube to desired size. Place bread cubes in a medium deep bowl. In a small bowl add the oil, garlic powder and Kay's lemon pepper seasoning mix. Mix together and toss with the bread cubes.Be gently as to not tear the bread. Spread onto a parchment lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes until nice and golden brown.
3. In a food processor or medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except for the olive oil. Once combined if using a food processor, with the motor running, add in the oil in a stream to let the dressing emulsify together. If you are not using a food processor then slowly stream in the olive oil and use a whisk to combine. Whisk until the oil is mixed throughout and the dressing thickens. Taste and season with extra sea salt and pepper if needed. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
