This is my own variant of the classic Caesar salad dressing, but without using raw egg so that the dressing keeps longer and doesn't spoil so easily. It's also a bit more piquant than the classic version and uses more cheese (because more cheese is always good). To make it more decorative in the bottle, try adding large sprigs of fresh basil to the dressing after shaking it. Makes a nice gift, and fresh basil tastes better, too. Ingredients:
2 cups extra-virgin olive oil |
6 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
5 cloves garlic, crushed |
2 tablespoons mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
1 tablespoon bread crumbs |
1 tablespoon sesame oil |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce |
1 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
3 leaves fresh basil, minced |
6 drops hot pepper sauce (e.g. tabasco™) |
salt to taste |
1 pinch oregano |
1 pinch paprika |
1 pinch cayenne pepper |
Directions:
1. Mix olive oil, Parmesan, garlic, mayonnaise, vinegar, bread crumbs, sesame oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, chili powder, black pepper, basil, hot pepper sauce, salt, oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a shaker or bottle with a lid; shake vigorously. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to let the flavors combine.
