Caesar Salad is Awesome
If there’s one thing I’m passionate about, it’s salad. So believe me when I say there’s nothing worse than bottled dressing. Other than being high in sodium and preservatives, the worst part is that it tastes processed, cause it is. There’s only one way to make an outstanding salad, and it begins with making your own dressing.
If you don’t already, start with this lemony, eggless caesar salad dressing. Your family and friends will be blown away at how the salad was the best part of the meal. If I could describe this caesar salad dressing to your taste buds, I would tell them it’s garlicky, tangy, full of flavor, full of depth yet still light, creamy, mouth-watering, zesty and delicious. It’s on Chris’ list of top 3 dressing favorites for good reason.
Enjoy blowing your dinner guests away.
