Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing
I have been making a lot of condiments lately. They’re so simple to whip up and always taste better than their store bought counterparts. While Hubby and I usually dress our salads with the ever simple oil and vinegar, I wanted to try making some Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing.
Boy am I glad I did! This dressing has a good deal of garlic in it and the perfect amount of saltiness from the anchovies. I stored this in the fridge for a couple weeks and it held up just fine. The recipe reminds me of homemade mayo, so we even slathered it on a few sandwiches while it was in the fridge.
Once the jar was empty, Hubby started asking when I would make it again. I definitely need to do that soon because we’ve been getting romaine lettuce in our CSA box almost every week. Now I just need to make some homemade croutons to go with it!

Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing
Ingredients:
4 cloves garlic
4 anchovy fillets
3 egg yolks
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp red-wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
Put the garlic, anchovies, egg yolks, and mustard in the bowl of your food processor. Process until all ingredients are pureed.
While the food processor is on, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Once the olive oil has been fully encorporated, add the remaining ingredients. Process until smooth. Adjust seasoning to fit your tastes.

Yum! I think that sounds like a great combo.
Yum! I love rhubarb but not sure I have had it in jam form. I bet this is beyond delicious! Although to be honest my favorite way to enjoy rhubarb is raw with just a little bit of a salt…yum!
Have you ever tried making sugar free jelly or jam before?
I have not made sugar free jam. This is only the second jam I’ve ever made!
Beautiful!!! I love that you sent two kinds 🙂 For me it was a total excuse to make all different kinds! I’m sure they will love it!
Now THAT is an awesome looking jam!!
I love that gorgeous color! I bet it tastes amazing too. Beautiful!
I make raspberry-rhubarb jam every year, it is my absolute favorite jam!! Looking over your recipe I do not find any pectin in it. Just wondered if this was error, I am always looking for new recipes to try. the cardamon is something I have never used in my jams so I thought I would give it a try. Thanks

Nope, no pectin in this recipe. The raspberries have enough naturally.
