1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
- Slowly drizzle in olive oil and vegetable oil while whisking continuously to form a creamy emulsion.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese.

- Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
- Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Add anchovy paste for a more traditional Caesar flavor.
