Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing
I have been making a lot of condiments lately. They’re so simple to whip up and always taste better than their store bought counterparts. While Hubby and I usually dress our salads with the ever simple oil and vinegar, I wanted to try making some Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing.
Boy am I glad I did! This dressing has a good deal of garlic in it and the perfect amount of saltiness from the anchovies. I stored this in the fridge for a couple weeks and it held up just fine. The recipe reminds me of homemade mayo, so we even slathered it on a few sandwiches while it was in the fridge.
Once the jar was empty, Hubby started asking when I would make it again. I definitely need to do that soon because we’ve been getting romaine lettuce in our CSA box almost every week. Now I just need to make some homemade croutons to go with it!

Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing
Ingredients:
4 cloves garlic
4 anchovy fillets
3 egg yolks
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp red-wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
Put the garlic, anchovies, egg yolks, and mustard in the bowl of your food processor. Process until all ingredients are pureed.
While the food processor is on, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Once the olive oil has been fully encorporated, add the remaining ingredients. Process until smooth. Adjust seasoning to fit your tastes.

This looks like such a perfect gift! Are those your homemade marshmallows I spy in the mug?
Of course they are! I seriously can’t justify buying marshmallows anymore. They’re just so easy and SO good homemade. I even whipped up a batch to put on our twice baked sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving.
I really wanted to do this this year for gifts but time escaped me. Looks great!
Soooo here’s the deal- A Boston Food Diary is going to look A LOT like Beantown Baker next week as I steal your recipes 🙂 Looks great Jen!
Why have I never thought about doing this? It looks so easy and it definitely would give me an excuse to make some homemade marshmallows!
That looks like an amazing gift! Making a homemade hot cocoa would definetly save money. Thanks for the recipe(:
Ghirardelli cocoa is very good and your homemade hot cocoa mix …too!!! May you have a special merry Christmas!!!Hugs, Flavia
I have never thought of making my own cocoa mix OR marshmallows. I feel a winter project coming on. Looks delicious!
I have had this bookmarked to make to some gifts for a couple of my girlfriends. So awesome and easy to make!
