COOKING LIGHT'S CREAMY CAESAR SALAD DRESSING



Cooking Light's Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing image

I don't know the month/date of the issue that I saved this from. It's my go-to caesar dressing when I want a quick dressing, or when I want something that's a little more kid-friendly than a classic caesar dressing. I wrote the recipe as-is from the magazine, but I don't buy/use fat-free mayo. I also just throw everything into my magic bullet and go, which works great, too!
