Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mayo I prefer full fat Hellman's
  • 1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan I use 24 month
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice from about one small lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic minced, pressed or grated
  • 1 tsp anchovy paste yes, you must use it. do not skip!
  • 1 tsp strong dijon mustard I like Edmond Fallot and Pommery brands
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce I use Lea & Perrins
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt reduce by half if using table salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground if possible

Instructions
 

  • Whisk everything together until smooth and creamy. Taste and add more salt or pepper if needed. Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

I love to serve my Caesar Salad with crisp and chilled romaine. I will usually add grilled chicken for protein and more parmesan on top and I'm liberal with the black pepper. Croutons are always a welcome addition.
