Equipment

  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon of smooth Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup of neutral vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons of finely grated aged Parmesan cheese
  • 1 2-ounce tin of anchovy fillets preserved in oil
  • 1 tablespoon of capers rinsed and chopped
  • 2 cloves of fresh garlic
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 medium-sized lemon juiced and zested
  • 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

  • Start by gathering all of your ingredients. Make sure you have fresh eggs, a ripe lemon, and quality Parmesan cheese. Use good olive oil; it makes a difference!

Step 2: Combine the Base

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, mustard, freshly squeezed lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. You’re creating a creamy base that will carry all those great flavors.

Step 3: Incorporate the Oils

  • Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil and vegetable oil while continuously whisking. This helps emulsify the mixture, giving it a luscious texture. You want to go slow here; patience is key!

Step 4: Add Flavor Boosters

  • Incorporate the finely grated Parmesan cheese, chopped anchovy fillets, and capers into the mixture. Use a spatula to fold these ingredients in gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 5: Season

  • Season the dressing with freshly cracked black pepper and taste it. Adjust the flavors as you see fit, maybe adding a pinch of salt or more lemon juice. It should be bright, creamy, and full of flavor.

Step 6: Store or Serve

  • Your Pollo Tropical Caesar Dressing is now ready! You can use it immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Notes

  1. Quality Ingredients Matter: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. Fresh is the name of the game, especially with eggs and olive oil.
  2. Experiment with Spices: If you like a bit of heat, consider adding a dash of red pepper flakes.
  3. Make it Ahead: This dressing tastes better after it sits for a while. Making it a day in advance allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
  4. Adjust Consistency: For a thinner dressing, add a splash of water or additional lemon juice. For a thicker dressing, add more egg yolks.
  5. Taste as You Go: Don’t hesitate to tweak the balance of flavors. A little more lemon or a touch of salt can drastically enhance the experience.
