Directions
Heat the oven to 375°F.

Note
How to Make the Perfect Caesar Salad Dressing
The heart and soul of a remarkable Caesar Salad lies in its dressing – a luscious blend of flavors that elevates the ingredients to new heights. Here's how to achieve that irresistible Caesar dressing. All you need is garlic, anchovies, egg yolk, red wine vinegar, ground mustard, parmesan cheese and rapeseed oil. Grab your blender and add all ingredients, except the rapeseed oil, and blend until smooth. With the blender running, gradually add the rapeseed oil. At the end season with salt and pepper to taste and then you’re ready to go!
Wondering if you can do without the egg yolk? The egg yolk is an important ingredient of the dressing, because it serves as the emulsifier, binding the ingredients together into a smooth and cohesive texture.
