How to Make Anchovy And Caper Salad Dressing

  1. Finely chop the anchovy fillets.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the chopped anchovies, drained capers, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper.
  3. Whisk all ingredients together until well combined and emulsified.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (though the capers and anchovies should provide ample saltiness).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
