Would you care to share that Caesar recipe? Haven’t perfected that one yet.

The basic recipe is from Once Upon A Chef, hosted by Jennifer Segal.

https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/caesar-salad-dressing.html

Jenn’s recipe calls for 1 cup of “commercial” mayonnaise (“best quality such as Hellmann’s Real”), but since my wife makes the mayonnaise, she makes that first in a one quart mason jar then adds the Caesar ingredients. She makes two cups of mayo and doubles the ingredients in the Caesar recipe.

Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing
By Jennifer Segal, adapted from Gourmet magazine
Servings: Makes 1-1/3 cups (enough for about 10 starter salads)
Total Time: 10 Minutes
Ingredients

2 small garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon anchovy paste (found near the canned tuna in the supermarket)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, from one lemon
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (I like the brand Maille)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup mayonnaise, best quality such as Hellmann's Real
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, anchovy paste, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Add the mayonnaise, Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt and pepper and whisk until well combined. Taste and adjust to your liking. The dressing will keep well in the fridge for about a week.

Since my wife is making it in the mayonnaise she just made, she uses the stick blender to add ingredients and ensure they’re mixed in well. This eliminates the “Instructions” paragraph in Jenn’s recipe. The parmigiano is generally the last ingredient added.

If you don’t have a mayo recipe you’re happy with, you could use whatever your favorite is.

Before she started making this, my favorite of the commercial dressings was Marie’s Caesar, but Marie’s uses soybean oil. My wife uses better oils and we can tell: this tastes better. This is now my favorite dressing anywhere.

Oh, that looks amazing! I’m going to have to write it down so I remember to fix it. We’re having keto Moussaka tonight for dinner tonight.

That looks great!

Had a Bacon Salad. Then a couple Hamburger patties with Provolone Cheese and Sautéed Mushrooms, some huge ass Brussel Sprouts, w/ Cauliflower, Bacon and a small piece of Fish. … Almost ate it all, but left a couple bites of Cauliflower, which the pups ate. - Think I need to go workout for about 4 hours! :smile:

Leftover beef/pea samosa pie filling with greens & kasundi. Bit carby but an OMAD day so didn’t break the bank.

Thanks! My husband cooked it for himself while I was in Chicago on business. I’ll have to get him to make it for me while I am home over Thanksgiving!

I am attending the Wise Traditions conference in Baltimore right now, and we had a fabulous lunch today. I had duck leg, green salad with dressing, fermented veggies, bone marrow custard, a few berries and a big glob of butter!

There was also sourdough bread and some sweeter fruit which I skipped.

Yummy!

I was a real piglet tonight! Besides a bowl – (OK, two, but they were small) – of @NativeKetoMan chili, I made keto gnocchi from homemade ricotta.

I should have taken a picture of them in the fresh tomato cream sauce, they were soooo beautiful. But I ate them before I thought of it; oh well.

Made enough to freeze for future use.

You know, even with all this food porn to keep me stimulated, I’m still missing that squirrel, lol! “Part Deux” just isn’t doing it for me. :grin:

In the mood for Chicken Paprikas tonight, but in a hurry. Stir fry ala paprikas… Extra hungarian paprika, butter and hwc.


#1363

I have to say @GodwinGoGo your meals always look super tasty :yum:


(I Am The Egg Man ku-ku-kachoo) #1364

Thanks Safi. I love to eat good food…and that starts with eye appeal.


#1365

Indeed. There is a reason I don’t post pictures of my sardine/smoked oyster/kimchi combo :laughing:

But that sounds fantastic to me!
