I have been using this recipie for 30 years and have always had positive comments by those who have tried it. It is not a whimpy dressing, so I hope you like garlic (which can be increased for you hard core cooks).

Caesar salad as good as any I've ever had, at home or tableside at a restaurant. Only change I made was I used dijon instead of dry mustard since that was all I had. It was also very easy to make. Thanks for this great recipe!

Perfection! This is the same recipe I've been using for years. It is everything a Classic Caesar should be. I use mashed anchovy fillets (I'm a traditionalist). Thank you so much for posting, Dug.

Tried this the other night for a dinner party of 10 and everyone loved it. Garlic was not too strong as suggested but we are all garlic lovers here so who knows. Thanks for the recipie Dug, it's a keeper.
