I’ve always liked Caesar salad and ten years ago I started looking at what would make a great Caesar dressing. After nearly a year of experimenting I came up with this recipe. Since then I’ve posted it all over the net and even received an “Internet’s Best” rating several years ago. I don’t know how official it was and have long since lost the e-mail but I’m happy none the less and most sites have given it a 5 star rating. I still get e-mail from those who’ve used the recipe telling me how much they enjoyed it. Most of the sites it was posted to are now gone and while the few remaining are not likely to go away anytime soon I wanted to have it here.
This is the first recipe I made that is all mine, I hope you enjoy it.
