I was really looking forward to making this recipe.. and then I found out all my mushrooms went bad! I already made the dressing though so I made some quick croutons and had myself a simple more traditional caesar salad instead. It was delicious! So I can't vouch for the salad and mushrooms together (though of course I'm sure it'd be just as or even more wonderful) but the dressing is great. The only thing I'd probably do differently next time though is cut down the lemon juice just a tad since I think I'd rather have my dressing a little less citrusy for a caesar salad. I also ended up using sardines since I didn't have anchovies, so I'll have to try it with anchovies next time around (and the mushrooms as well!) Great quick and easy recipe. Thanks!
