Caesar the Day

Sometimes at the end of the day a good simple meal is all that can keep a person sane. Everyone has a specific dish that they cook when all else fails. My family has a Caesar salad dressing recipe that goes back to the mid-80’s when my godfather shared it with my mom. Since then it has been through a few modifications and made in three different countries on two continents. With the Ides of March approaching I will send it out so the world can have a taste. After all, Julius Caesar himself said "It is better to create than to learn. Creating is the essence of life."

Caesar Salad Dressing

2 eggs

2T parmesan cheese

2T sherry vinegar

2T lemon juice (or you can use just 1/4 cup lemon juice and not put in sherry vinegar)

1t tabasco

1t worcestershire

4 cloves garlic

4 anchovy fillets

1cup oil (1/2 olive and 1/2 canola)

Using a high-powered blender, combine all ingredients except oil.

With the blender on a low speed, slowly pour oil into the mixture.

Serve over romaine lettuce with homemade croutons.
