Absolutely loved this dressing! It's slightly reminiscent of a Caesar, only not as heavy. Loved the capers, the anchovies, and the lemony tang! I did chop the anchovies, but then mashed them in the oil so they would totally permeate the dressing. Added a bit of freshly grated parm, too (but not too much! Yum - we'll definitely be making this again!

I love it when a recipe pushes all my taste buttons. Anchovies, capers and lemon are some of my favourite flavours, and this recipe makes great use of all three ingredients. I love sour so I cut the oil back to 4 tablespoons and that was plenty for our tastes. I will make this often and next time I'll double or triple it. Thanks for posting.

This was delicious. It had all the flavours I enjoy and I knew I would love it before I tasted it. Thank you Potsie for posting a yummy recipe. Get Well Soon. x

Very bold and certainly not lacking in flavour. Which is just right in some salads. I used to liven up some beetroots, which are bland by themselves.

Awesome! Made all as directed and let it sit in the fridge a few hours before using to let the flavors meld and it changed a mixed pack of lettuce into something special.
