Ingredients
  
  • 4 medium garlic cloves minced
  • 10 anchovy fillets
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of small capers (optional to taste)
  • 2 eggs separated from the whites
  • 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
  • Black pepper to taste
Instructions
 
  • Start by preparing the base for the dressing.
    Combine the minced garlic cloves in a mixing bowl with the anchovy fillets.
    Mash them together until they form a smooth paste.
  • Add the dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice to the garlic ranchy paste.
    Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
    Gradually pour in the extra-virgin olive oil as you continue stirring the mixture.
    This will help to emulsify the dressing and create a creamy texture.
  • Next, incorporate the capers and grated Parmesan cheese into the dressing.
    Mix it well to ensure an even distribution of the ingredients.
  • To add richness, separate the egg yolks from the whites.
    Add the yolks to the dressing mixture, then whisk vigorously until it reaches a smooth consistency.
  • Pour in the red wine vinegar, Tabasco sauce, and a pinch of black pepper.
    Mix the dressing thoroughly to blend all the ingredients.
    Taste the dressing to check the seasoning levels.
    Feel free to adjust any flavoring as needed according to your preference.
    Once you have finished preparing your Carrabba's Caesar dressing, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use it.
