Q: "When my husband and I go to Park Cafe in downtown Duluth, I always order the Honey Dill Caesar Salad. The dressing is the best! Would it be possible for you to get the recipe for the dressing?"
JANE COOPER, Norcross
A: "We get a lot of requests for the recipe, and this is one of our favorites, " says Park Cafe co-owner Bob Stepic. "I think it's the quality of the ingredients, the freshness and the nice presentation." The restaurant serves it on a salad of romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese and croutons, Stepic said.
Hands on time: 5 minutes Total time: 5 minutes Serves: 8
Ingredients:
-
1 clove garlic
1/4 teaspoon anchovy paste
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 pasteurized egg yolks (or the yolks from 2 coddled eggs)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Place the garlic, anchovy paste, dill, mustard, honey, vinegar, lemon juice and egg yolks into a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth. With motor running, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil to emulsify. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes:
Executive chef Paul Smith's recipe calls for the yolks of coddled eggs. However, the American Egg Board does not recommend using coddled eggs unless they are cooked until the white is completely set and the yolk begins to thicken (coddled eggs are dropped in the shell into simmering water for 1 to 2 minutes and then shocked in cold water to stop the cooking process). Because this technique takes practice, the safer choice for this recipe is to use pasteurized eggs.
If you can't find anchovy paste, which is sold in some supermarkets and gourmet food shops, you can use a small piece of anchovy to the same effect.
