  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon anchovy paste see notes
  • 1 Pinch salt
  • 1 Pinch pepper one to two pinches of black pepper.

Instructions

  • Using a small blender, immersion blender, or food processor, blend all ingredients together until smooth.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

I highly recommend using an emersion blender to make this dressing because it gives it the perfect consistency.
If your kids won't mind a gritty consistency, you could substitute grated parmesan cheese (the kind used to top spaghetti) in place of shredded.
You can make your own anchovy paste simply by mashing up the anchovies to form a paste-like consistency. This really isn't necessary though, since all of the ingredients will be blended together anyway.
If using whole anchovies from a can in place of anchovy paste, I suggest starting with one anchovy. Taste the dressing and add another anchovy if a stronger flavor is desired.
