LOVED this dressing! It was creamy but at the same time went on very light. I added 1 clove minced garlic and just a sprinkle of dill. Served this on a salad of romaine, cheddar & croutons.

Very good. We made it just the way it says. Thanks!

Very much like caesar dressing without the garlic. We loved it. I skipped the lemon zest and used only about 1tbsp lemon juice and cut the olive oil back to 2 tbsp. This will make a regular appearance at our house. Thx.
