American Kitchen Classic Caesar Salad Dressing

A Caesar salad is a salad of romaine lettuce and croutons dressed with a sauce and is often prepared tableside. The salad's creation is generally attributed to restaurateur Caesar Cardini, an Italian immigrant who operated restaurants in Tijuana, Mexico and San Diego, United States during the 1920's Prohibition era. This recipe has been modified to remove the raw egg that the original recipe used due to salmonella concerns.
