Classical dressing for Caesar salad - recipe
In the framework of the classic recipe, the creator himself, Caesar Cardini, used a clove of garlic to rub dishes in which the sauce was prepared. This simple trick made it possible to achieve an easy garlic taste of the sauce, without interrupting the remaining ingredients.

Preparation
Before you prepare a dressing for Caesar salad, make a pasta out of anchovies by grinding the canned fish in a mortar or whipping with a blender.
Walls of utensils for whipping should be greased with a cut garlic tooth. The scheme of preparation of the filling for "Caesar" resembles the preparation of mayonnaise: the eggs are beaten with Dijon mustard and citrus juice, and after the combination of all the ingredients, you can start pouring olive oil. The oil is poured in small portions, without stopping the whipping so that the emulsion does not exfoliate. Put a paste of anchovies on a prepared basis, pour in Worcestershire sauce and add salt.
