INGRID'S CAESAR SALAD DRESSING



Ingrid's Caesar Salad Dressing image

This Caesar salad dressing is always a hit! Prepare at least 4 hours in advance for best taste. No raw egg means you can make this dressing and keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days, and it only gets better with time! For extra presentation serve with croutons, cubes of avocado flesh, and grated Parmesan cheese. Leftover dressing makes good dip for fresh veggies as a snack (Just maybe not at work due to the awesome amount of garlic!)

CAESAR SALAD DRESSING



Caesar Salad Dressing image

There's no need to limit this dressing to Caesar salad--- It is also wonderful for any steamed or raw vegetables, particularly asparagus,articokes, and new potatoes. Transform it into a dip for crudites by adding 1cup of low fat yogurt. This recipe comes from the Moosewood Restaurtant Cooks at Home cookbook. This cookbook has recipes of a healthier version. You may find this recipe somewhat different than the Ceasar salad that you may be accustomed to.
