Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe

Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe

A lot of people love our Caesar Salad.  This is Jordon's recipe and is really quite simple.  The one thing you do need is really fresh ingredients.

  • 1 cup of vegetable oil
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice

Blend together until creamy.  If dressing doesn't thick and creamy, it means your ingredients aren't fresh and you don't want to use it.

Before I make the dressing, I cook up some tender bacon, chop of the romaine lettuce, and toss on some croutons and I am set.
