Pulse the garlic and anchovies together in a food processor.
Add the egg yolk and process until smooth.
Drizzle in the olive oil a bit at a time until completely incorporated, and then with the motor still running, drizzle in the lemon juice.
Add the Worcestershire, Dijon, and black pepper, and pulse to combine.
Taste and add additional salt and pepper as desired.
Store in a sealed jar in the fridge up to 5 days.

This recipe makes about 3/4 cup of salad dressing, or about 6 (2-tablespoon-sized) servings.
Anchovy Fillets Substitution: You can use 1/3 teaspoon of salt instead, but it won’t have quite the same depth of flavor. Either way, be sure you don’t skip the Worcestershire sauce, which also has anchovy!
To Make the Salad in the Photos in This Post: Line a large bowl with 3 large handfuls of mixed salad greens. Add 1 to 2 crushed store-bought breadsticks, 2 slices of crisped turkey bacon, 2 tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and about 2 tablespoons of homemade Caesar dressing. Serve immediately.
