Easy & Delicious Caesar Salad Dressing

I love Caesar Salads, but often times find the restaurant dressings to be too heavy for my taste.  This recipe uses olive oil instead of mayonnaise which creates a light and delicious topping for your romaine lettuce!

Ingredients:

3   anchovy fillets (packed in olive oil)
1   tsp. salt
4   garlic cloves (minced)
1   TBSP. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1   tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1   tsp. fresh ground pepper
1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/3 C. extra virgin olive oil
1   C. freshly grated Parmesan cheese

In a small bowl, mash the anchovy fillets, salt and the minced garlic to make a paste.  Set aside.  In a small food processor, combine lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and mustard.  Pulse to blend.  Add the anchovy mixture and pulse again.  Add the olive oil and mix until all ingredients are blended well.

Using chopped romaine lettuce, toss with Parmesan cheese and dressing.  Top with croutons, if desired.

Bon Appetite!
