Creamy Caesar Dressing.
Sometimes you just need a creamy Caesar dressing. This one fits the bill. It’s from GATHER: Casual Cooking from Wine Country Gardens by Janet Fletcher. She puts it atop a rather unusual salad you can read about here, but we like it just fine with your standard greens and croutons. Makes enough for several shared salads.
Ingredients:
½ c mayonnaise
1 ½ t lemon juice
1 ½ t fish sauce (we use Red Boat)
1 t anchovy paste or 3 salted anchovy fillets, finely chopped (optional)
¼ t fresh ground black pepper
Caesar Salad with creamy dressing.
Method: whisk together all ingredients in a bowl. Combine 2 T dressing with 4 cups greens, or to taste, and mix thoroughly. Garnish with a generous scoop of grated Pecorino or Parmesan cheese and your favorite croutons.
