The original Caesar sauce recipe calls for 1 whole egg yolk per person, 1 clove of garlic per person, 1 to 2 tablespoons of mustard per person (or to taste), 1 tablespoon of lemon juice per person (or to taste), and salt and pepper to taste.Caesar sauce is a creamy, garlicky sauce traditionally made with raw egg yolks. It is often used in salads or as a sauce for crudités.
The first step is to add all the ingredients, except the oil and lemon juice, in the blender or food processor. Cover and blend for about two minutes.
Now remove the small lid at the top to add the missing ingredients while blending at low intensity. This is done to achieve a proper mixture and not to cut the yolks. Gradually add the lemon and oil from the top.
Blend another little bit and the caesar sauce is ready.
