Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing

Bold, Ancient, and Quietly Honest

Caesar dressing is one of those recipes that reveals a cook's instincts more than almost any other. There is no heat to hide behind, no long simmer to coax things into harmony — only the careful layering of sharp and savory and bright, emulsified slowly into something smooth and unified. Made from scratch, it becomes less a condiment and more a quiet act of intention. The kind of thing you make once and then can never quite go back from.
