Kerry's Caesar Salad Dressing

[chocdoc]

I've been making this rather excellent (if I do say so myself) dressing for years, an immersion blender being the best tool until I discovered the thermomix.  I always had to plan ahead, making sure the ingredients were at room temperature before starting or risk the dressing failing to thicken properly.  Warming to 37º C before drizzling in the room temperature oils insures a perfect result.   


Name of Recipe:Kerry's Caesar Salad Dressing
Number of People:4-6
Ingredients:
1 large or 2 small cloves garlic
1 large egg
1 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 fillets of anchovy
1 cup neutral oil (such as sunflower oil)
4 tbsp olive oil


Preparation:
Process garlic for a few second at speed 5 until chopped.  Add egg, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and anchovy fillets - set for 4 minutes and  at 37º C.  Turn off heat, place MC with open side up, turn up to speed 7 and pour the oils onto the lid slowly.  It will drizzle down beside the MC and into the bowl.  This will be a thick dressing, akin to mayonnaise, but a tiny bit thinner. 


For salad preparation - I like a sliced or torn head of romaine lettuce, about 3 tbsp of dressing, pepper to taste, nice garlicy croutons, crumbled crisp bacon and a huge quantity of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Just wanting to bump as I made this today and it was absolutely lovely. I have no anchovies so used a bit of fish sauce and it really was amazing and so easy. Anyway, just wanted to share as I have only just got my tmx and cannot believe how awesome it is

We also enjoyed this dressing on potato salad
I  mixed in 6 Tbsp. of the dressing with the potato, eggs, diced  red onion and sweet spiced gherkins......was yum!



.......and I didn't tell a soul that there were anchovies in it

Thank you for sharing, will definately be making this, but also won't mention the anchovies

I did find that 1 garlic clove was ample.

Have just made this for our salad tonight, left out anchovies as allergic.
Will pour over salad then sprinkle with parmessan cheese.

The dressing tastes lovely.
