First off... cesar dressing should NEVER be made with mayonnaise.
Use an raw egg, a tablespoon of minced anchovies, a tsp of chopped garlic, a tsp dijon mustard and a whole lemon squeezed. Whisk these all together. The lemon juice with "cook" the egg so it isn't raw tasting. Add Worchestire sauce and tabasco to your liking and continue whisking, adding about a 1/4 cup of olive oil. It will all come together because the mustard and egg emulsify the lemon juice and oil. After the mix comes together, I add about 3 tablespoons grated parmesan a pinch of salt and some fresh cracked pepper. This is the original recipe that is made in Tijuana and the place that invented it (although without the tabasco and anchovy). If you are afraid of the egg, just leave it out and add a little more lemon juice, oil and cheese.

*RAW EGG WARNING
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
