Making the Caesar Salad Dressing

Place the garlic clove and anchovy fillets in the Thermomix bowl.

Mix for about 5 seconds at a low speed to mince them finely.

Add the grated Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to the bowl.

Mix the ingredients for about 10-15 seconds at a medium speed until they are well combined.

While the Thermomix is running at a slow speed, slowly pour in the olive oil through the lid opening.

This will emulsify the dressing. This should take about 20-30 seconds.

Stop the Thermomix, and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.

Mix for an additional 5-10 seconds to ensure everything is fully combined.

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more lemon juice, salt, or pepper.
