This wonderful tasting salad gets a 5 star for it simplicity and ease of preparing. Packed with flavor. A perfect light dinner when it's just too hot to want to cook. I doubled the dressing because it was so thin and I'm glad I did. It didn't adhere to the lettuce very well, but it was good anyway. Just used more dressing. Thanks rickoholic83 for a great meal.

Wow, what a lovely surprise, I was expecting a nice salad with a good dressing but this is a fantastic caesar dressing. Thank you so much for sharing a recipe that I will make often Rickohalic. We loved the raw, subtle bite and great flavor of the dressing. The pinenuts were a lovely additon, everything blended beautifully to create a special salad. Made for Pac - Fall - 2011
