@Chefmikebenninger Mike, I have to correct you one one thing. Mustard is a natural preservative. Also, omit the lemon and try it with red wine vinegar instead. It's the way my father taught me 35 years ago!

[AlSwegen]

Thank you.... the fact that youtubers havn't lit you up yet with hateful comments is testament to you providing a quality recipe to the community that is both authentic and delicious. Bravo. If you do actually receive a less than complimentary comment at some point please feel free to use this one to cancel out such ridiculousness.

PS - Taking the time and effort to properly stage your video isn't going to get you many compliments but it was the reason I didn't just ignore yours. Nice work.

@AlSwegen ...gee, made me blush...

[erosamuk]

[rexy5]

[Jasmindersidu]

[chefmikebenninger]

[DC180]

man this is a serious ceasar salad... Thanks! one day might try it.. but I still use a bottle, But a expensive bottle ;)

[snowinghappiness]

you are so right......... restraunts EVERYWHERE stop putting so much dressing. less is best

[chefmikebenninger]

Which one? The slightly bawdy guy who hosts "the F word" or the screaming psycho lunatic that is on Hells Kitchen?. He is creative, funny (when he wants to be), charming (when he wants to be) and very driven. He is also a hyper aggressive screaming abusive dick (when he wants to be).

I've made some of his recipes and 90% of them are excellent, but I don't set aside any time to seek out his shows or buy his books. Folks may like him, but I will take Alton Brown anyday.

what do you think of Gordon Ramsay?

[FootFinger13]

How much of each should you put

[chefmikebenninger]

The anchovy paste is very high in salt, so I use very little of it, but if you do, never use table salt, only seal or kosker salt...

[shakaama]

chef, I just made about 3 cups of my own. the recipe i was looking at said to add worcestershire sauce with anchovies as well, isn't that overkill? I see you use paste instead.

I made mine for my roommate, but he didn't want any sea salt in it. I'm trying to get him to eat healthier, so i've agreed to cook for him if he cleans up before and after the kitchen. I'm assuming not putting the salt in is a good thing in this case.

[Napaffe]

Somehow it's too yellow and mustardy.

I like better original dressing.

[chefmikebenninger]

cool...glad you like it...

[REDDJOAN]

Great video!!! It is the exact dressing recipe I was looking for, not many people know how to do it!! thank you!

[sstarin]

the best recipe I've found for Caesar salad, thanks

[teflonmagnet]

awesome, simple recipe of a classic with a modicum of cleanup and prep work.

good job. don't underestimate the power of anchovy paste...even if it is loaded with glutamate.

[piehole23]

No croutons? It looks like a great salad otherwise but my customers (i.e. my family) would be asking.

[GrnEyez64]

Nice vid of a classic - ty for posting it. I like your easy pace and presentation. Cameraman needs to switch to decaf but it gets the job done. Could you tell us roughly how much lemon juice or olive oil you are using? I know I can always adjust but it is nice have a decent starting point. Nice tip on dressing half the salad first. And I agree with you that micro planers are great. Again, thank you for the video.

[jbsancey]

It's nice to listen to a proper qualified chef who use the right culinary terms for once ! well done ..

I agreed the video moves too much, but that was their camera man and i had no control over the editing.

[Danmill23]

Thanks for the video. But I Must say the camera work is very ... Sea sick!

):

If I may reccomend. No slow rolling and zooming. Hold still. Cut to close ups.

MHO

[chefmikebenninger]

i figure most of us are fat enough...

[coppersulphate002]

@chefmikebenninger I should marry you! I love a man that cooks!

[DJuggz06]

no bacon, no croutons?

looks like a nice dressing though

[jamuy23]

good one!
