Calories: 180kcal
Ingredients
- 4-6 anchovy fillets or 1 tablespoon anchovy paste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 juice of 1 large lemon
- 2 egg yolks or 2 tablespoons mayonnaise for a safer version
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl or food processor, mash the anchovies and garlic into a smooth paste.
- Whisk in the Dijon, Worcestershire, and lemon juice.
- Add the egg yolks (or mayonnaise) and whisk until combined.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly, until the dressing emulsifies into a creamy consistency.
- Stir in the Parmesan. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using to allow flavors to develop. Keeps refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Notes
For food safety, use pasteurized egg yolks or substitute 2 tablespoons of good-quality mayonnaise. The dressing will be slightly less silky but still delicious. Anchovy paste is a convenient substitute for fillets — use about 1 tablespoon.
