I make a great Caesar and the secret is a lot of anchovy. Even people who claim to hate anchovies love it and are surprised when I tell them how much I add.

- Bluestein 1y agoTruly believe that is the secret ingredient - along with Bacon ... that can turn bland to grand.-
- katbyte 1y agoYep. Also raw eggs not mayo, and garlic in the oil for a while before making it.
- giardini 1y agoHow much do you add or, better yet, a recipe?
- cainxinth 1y agoOne tube of anchovy paste, one tin of anchovy filets (chopped), fresh pressed garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire, hot sauce, parmesan, black pepper, and olive oil.
- manapause 1y agoThis is a perfect recipe!
- cainxinth 1y agoThank you!
- dleary 1y agoHow much dressing do you make at once, and for how many single-person large salads? Can you tell us the size/weight of the tube of paste and the anchovy tin? I agree that anchovy is the secret, but I don’t use nearly this much for two salads, for me and my wife. I use half a jar of filets, which I more or less mince/mash. Do you leave big chunks in the dressing from the chopped filets? If so, I would guess that they are maybe a quarter the size of a caper, do you go bigger? Do you make a lot of dressing and save it? We make it fresh every time, which also makes the batch size smaller.
- cainxinth 1y ago1.6 oz tube of paste and 2 oz tin of filets. I chop the filets fairly well but not so much that they become a paste, too. This makes enough dressing for a very large salad (with two romaine hearts and one or two full romaines). I have made it and saved some and it keeps fairly well, but I typically make it fresh.
- giardini 1y agoWhat is this: "Cave Man's Caesar Salad"?-)) - proportions? - substrate? - preparation? (i.e., blender or bowl, etc.) - timing? and what kind of hot sauce?
- cainxinth 1y agoAdding for posterity because I forgot an ingredient: the juice of one lemon.
