Anchovy salad (classic)

Description

Today we'll prepare a "Caesar" salad without meat ingredients, but with a delicious anchovy-based dressing. It will be very tasty, I guarantee it! This salad is great because it's essentially completely versatile: enjoy it on weekdays, or on holidays if you prefer.

   Step 2

   Add 2 egg yolks, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice (preferably freshly squeezed), and mustard. Start mixing, gradually pouring in olive oil a little at a time. Then gradually add any other vegetable oil, also a little at a time. The dressing should turn out thick.
