You'll wonder why you bought this in a bottle when you see how easy it is to make.

Variation

This is a great Caesar salad dressing. I have done this by hand in a wooden bowl with a slightly thinner consistency, but turned out very tasty. I try to omit machinery and practicing to do everything by hand. ( for my next Camping / Sailing trip)
Another variety which I tried in order to reduce cholesterol; I have mixed the ingredient in a blender with egg white only but a bit more parmesan.
It turned out really thick and tasty and I was complemented on the taste.
Maybe try it one day?

How long can you keep egg based dressings?

Nice recipe, any thoughts as to how long it can be stored in the fridge given the raw eggs?

I tried this dressing on top of romaine with some capers and fried garlic slices (fry them slowly to avoid them going bitter and pat them dry with a paper towel), croutons and some shavings of aged parmesan and it was delicious! A great lunch or suppertime treat.

Re: How Long to Store Egg Based Dressings

It is best to make only what you need, but if there happen to be leftovers they will keep for 3-4 days, in a container with a tight-fitting lid.

Great Dressing For A Lot Of Things!

I like it over sliced tomatoes. It is a nice dressing. I plan on having it over other veggies as well. I am sure it is good on a salad too. I plan on trying it on a cold pasta salad as well.

Great site for these kinds of questions

Either http://google.com or http://www.foodista.com/

I know this is probably not the answer you'd like to hear but we focus here on answering questions for students related to skill and technique, recipe problems (e.g. why was the sauce too thick, etc). Our goal at Rouxbe is to help you become a better cook. I wish we had a glossary for all these types of terms, but there are just so many great resources out there for these types of questions so we decided to dedicate our site to helping people learn to cook.

Here's your answer from a google search: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchovy

Great recipe

Tried this last night for a quick and tasty salad. I omitted the anchovy only because I didn't have one and added a little bit of cholula for a spicy kick. Thanks for the recipe Joe!

RE: anchovies, again!

Joe thanks for posting this.
Could you please specify the amount of "1 pureed anchovies"? (i.e. 1 Tbsp/tsp/fillet/etc.)

Cheers

RE: Amount of Anchovies

The recipe has been updated to be clearer. We use 1 anchovy filet (pureed); however, you can use more or less to taste if you like. Cheers!

How much olive oil?

Are you adding 1/2 cup of olive oil?

Re: How Much Olive Oil?

The recipe states 1/2 cup...but then it goes on to say "add the oil until you reach the desired consistency. This may mean you need more or less oil then stated in the ingredient list." Cheers!
