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.

How big a bottle of Guinness, please? (I’m not a beer person and I never stock beer so I’d really love to know, please!)
Can’t wait to try this recipe. Thank you, and warm regards,

Sorry, I’ll update the recipe. A bottle of Guinness has 11.2oz in it.
Now if only I knew where to procure mustard seeds from… I love mustard and would love to make some at home, too!

I buy mine at Penzey’s. We have one really close to our house in Cincinnati now, but they also have a website you can order from. Or you could check out Amazon.
I bookmarked this. I’ve been wondering how to make mustard from scratch. Thanks!

It’s definitely worth making at home!
WOW! This does sound easy!

It’s beyond easy 🙂
My boyfriend loves Guinness mustard. We used to be able to buy it from a farm shop in the UK, but I think they’ve stopped making it. So glad I found this recipe, I made it last night. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Thanks so much for posting!

He loved it. It made quite a lot as well, so I’ve already handed a few jars to friends as a gift! Really tasty x
