Today, light and dietary dressings for dishes are becoming increasingly popular among supporters of a healthy diet. Caesar sauce is not only a great accompaniment to a classic chicken salad, but also a very tasty component of pizza.

Peculiarities:

1. Caesar sauce was invented in the United States about a hundred years ago during Prohibition. Its creator, Caesar Cardini, for the first time - on Independence Day - served the eponymous salad with the legendary sauce in his restaurant.
2. The base of the dressing is Worcestershire sauce, which first appeared in England in the second half of the 19th century. It was this sauce that gave the Caesar salad a hint of fishy flavor.
3. Despite the fact that Caesar sauce was invented at the same time as the famous salad recipe of the same name, today this dressing is used for various second courses. The most important thing is that almost raw eggs and anchovies are invariably included in the composition of the sauce.
4. By the end of cooking, the volume of Caesar sauce usually increases by one and a half times.
5. If you made the dressing at home, it should be smooth and look like liquid sour cream. The sauce should be stored in a cold place for no more than two days and shaken before use.

Traditional option

If you stick to the classic recipe, making Caesar sauce at home is not easy. To many, it may seem that the ingredients are too difficult to buy in the store. However, if you still keep the true recipe unchanged, you can get a dressing whose taste will exceed all your expectations. You will need:

• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce;
• 2 raw eggs;
• half a glass of olive oil;
• 2 cloves of garlic;
• juice of half a lemon.

Real Caesar sauce requires very careful preparation of products. So, the eggs should not be very cold, they need to be warmed to room temperature.

Cooking process:

1. Eggs should be pierced with a needle on one side and placed in boiling water for just a minute so that they are only slightly cooked.
2. After that, we break the eggs into a bowl, put the sauce and lemon juice, chopped garlic.
3. Then the mixture is stirred, olive oil is added. By the way, the classic dressing recipe involves the use of either virgin or refined oil. Otherwise, the flavor notes of the sauce will be overpowered.
4. Oil must be added gradually and at the same time do not stop stirring the mass.
5. You can then add salt, pepper, various herbs and spices to taste. (Lemon juice, by the way, can be replaced with wine vinegar).

Now the classic sauce with the proud name "Caesar" is complete!

Sauce with mayonnaise

The Caesar sauce recipe based on homemade mayonnaise is liked by many modern culinary specialists. The fact is that the composition of such a dressing is simpler, but at the same time the taste is as close as possible to the classic one. This is possible thanks to the eggs that are part of the traditional mayonnaise. So, you need to take:

• 200 ml of mayonnaise;
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce;
• clove of garlic;
• juice of half a lemon;
• ground pepper.

Cooking process:

To begin with, if you wish, you can independently prepare the original mayonnaise at home. To do this, you need to take one egg yolk, 350 ml of sunflower oil, a spoonful of lemon juice and salt. As for Worcestershire sauce, many people prefer to replace it with a tablespoon of anchovies, but it is not always possible to find them.

1. First you need to crush the garlic and mix mayonnaise, sauce, lemon juice and pepper in a blender. If you use anchovies, they are added last along with garlic, and then the dressing is turned into a homogeneous mass.
2. If you want to soften the taste of anchovies a little, a little honey can be included in the recipe. Very often Caesar sauce with mayonnaise contains grated Parmesan cheese. It is worth noting that this ingredient is used primarily for dressing the legendary Caesar salad with chicken.

If you want the dressing to come out less high-calorie and reminiscent of cream, try making Caesar sauce based on yogurt or sour cream.

Recipe without anchovies

Not all housewives like to cook Caesar sauce with anchovies. The taste is rich, but very specific, besides, you can not find this product in all stores. The same goes for Worcestershire sauce. However, there is another recipe for the mixture for second courses. Have to take:

2. Add cheese, mustard and garlic.
3. After thorough whipping, gradually pour in the oil. Please note that grain mustard, as well as Russian mustard, will not work for this recipe.

The taste of the mixture in this case will come out too sharp and vigorous. Instead of French, you can take American mustard or sandwich. Mustard-based Caesar dressing is stored in the same way as a traditional dressing.

Caesar salad confidently replaces Olivier. And just as we cooked something with green peas and mayonnaise with our eyes closed, it's time to learn how to quickly and tasty the famous dish of American-Italian cooking.

Moreover, neither salad nor sauce is easy to prepare. You just need to know a few secrets.

Caesar Salad Dressing Secrets

1 Forget store-bought mayonnaise! Today, a special one is also sold, “under Caesar”. It is tolerant of taste, but still “not right” - if only because Caesar sauce is prepared simultaneously with the preparation of the salad. Everything should be fresh and handmade, not industrial.

2 If you want to cook Caesar sauce with an inimitable signature accent, you can not do without Worcestershire sauce. Today, this culinary delight can sometimes be found in large supermarkets. What is Worcester Sauce? Very peculiar in taste (and mysterious - from 26 to 40 components, including secret!) English dressing, which includes anchovies, by the way, "with a smell"!

With regard to Worcestershire sauce, you can hear that you can’t replace it with anything, and this is true ... In addition, culinary advanced people will say that you need to be able to choose a manufacturer. We sell Heinz, which is considered pop, and it is better to look for Lea & Perrins ...

However, if you can’t, but really want to cook Caesar sauce, replace the arrogant English ingredient with more affordable balsamic vinegar, in extreme cases, soy or wine.

3 There are different opinions about whether anchovies are included in the real Caesar sauce recipe. According to the first, Worcestershire sauce already has a fishy accent, and that's enough. According to the second, anchovies cannot be spoiled with anchovies. If you live in a major city, you will find this fish. No - it’s not bad (although not ideal) to replace them with sprats in spicy salting.

4 The way of cooking eggs is special. Firstly, the eggs should not be from the refrigerator, otherwise they will burst during cooking, and in general ... we need “live”, not “frozen”. Secondly, they do not even need to be cooked. Dip the eggs in boiling water, with or without the shell (poached) and remove the pan from the heat almost immediately. Now let it sit for a minute or two. In this semi-liquid state, we need them.
