Name: Tomato Caesar
Ingredients: 3 oil-packed anchovy fillets; 1 small garlic clove; ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil; 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice; 1 Tbsp. mayonnaise; 1 tsp. Dijon mustard; 2 Tbsp. finely grated Parmesan, plus shaved for serving; Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper; 1½ lb. mixed tomatoes, sliced, quartered, or halved; ½ cup basil leaves

An extra-thick Caesar dressing gives this tomato salad its oomph—and keeps it from sogging out at the picnic.

anchovy

garlic clove

olive oil

lemon juice

mayonnaise

Dijon mustard

Parmesan,

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

1½ lb. mixed tomatoes, sliced, quartered,

basil leaves

To stand up against juicy tomatoes, we made this dressing extra thick. A blender will get you the best results, but if you’re hand-whisking, add another 1 Tbsp. mayonnaise for the consistency you need. Tomato slices are better than wedges here; laid flat, they hold the dressing in place.

Bon Appétit

Purée anchovies, garlic, oil, lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard, and 2 Tbsp. Parmesan in a blender until smooth. Season dressing with salt and pepper. (Or, finely chop anchovies and garlic and whisk together dressing in a medium bowl.)

Arrange tomatoes on a large plate; drizzle dressing over. Top with basil and shaved Parmesan; season generously with pepper.
