Ingredients

Dressing:

1 clove garlic, smashed with a pinch of salt and a little olive oil
4 anchovy fillets
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 lemons, juiced
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus extra for garnish
Freshly ground black pepper
2 heads romaine lettuce

Directions

Make the dressing: Smear the garlic paste over the inside of the salad bowl. Put the anchovies, egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice, and water into a blender and process for 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth. With the blender running, pour the olive oil in slowly for the dressing to emulsify. Stir in the Parmesan, a pinch of salt and a couple of grinds of black pepper; set aside. (Refrigerate the dressing if you will not be using it right away.)

Assemble the salad: Tear the lettuce into a large bowl. Add enough dressing to coat the salad to your liking. Add some extra Parmesan and toss the salad well. Serve immediately.

The best caesar dressing I've made!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is my favorite Caesar dressing I've ever made. The only change I made to it was to add a little extra garlic and omit... the water. I don't understand why some people have had such difficulty with this recipe. Its turned out great every time for me!Read more

Was not what I expected
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I agree with other posters. I think there is a mistake in the indredient list. I made this for a dinner party. Luckily, I... made it early in the day because as I tasted it, I could tell it wasn't good. I realized I had not checked the comments and reviews online, so ran to the computer to see what others had said about the recipe. Wow, lesson learned! ALWAYS check out the reviews! Fortunately, I had enough ingredients to make another version of a caesar dressing and the dinner party was saved!Read more

Here's the recipe from the show!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I don't know where this recipe on the FN site came from...because it's not even close to Tyler's recipe from the show. So... try this one. 1 Clove garlic slightly smashed, but left whole 1 Anchovy Decent spoonful of Dijon mustard 1 Egg yolk Juice of 1/2-1 lemon (depending on lemon) Big handful Parmesan cheese (grated) 3 Romaine hearts (chopped into bite-size pieces) Poor a little salt (maybe 1/2 tsp) on a cutting board w/ a few drops of EVOO. Dab garlic clove into the salt and then grind it into a wooden salad bowl. Place the anchovy into the bowl and smash it into a paste w/ a spoon. Add the mustard, yolk, and lemon juice. Stabilize bowl w/ a towel and whisk in EVOO until it thickens up. Then chunk in a big handful of Parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper. Chop up 3 romaine hearts and add it to the bowl. Fold it and roll it around to coat the lettuce. Add a little Parmesan and cracked pepper. Read more

RECIPE IS WRONG! JUST WATCHED THE SHOW
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I just watched this show and immediately pulled this recipe up. First of all Tyler uses one anchovy, not four. He also used... 1 egg yolk, not 2. Anyway, you get the idea. It's not at all how he does it on his show. Somehow this recipe was put online all wrong. I love food network and I love Tyler, but please do not waste your time and especially your money. I think this is happened to all of us before. Following a recipe that is all wrong is a big drag!Read more
