Texas Caesar Salad

Submitted by JHOmade

"From July 1999 Bon Apetit - This salad is so good. I like to add grilled chicken to give it some protein and make it a meal. The salad dressing is a winner too! I like to keep a batch on hand to dip veggies in."

I found the dressing a little tart, but enjoyable. It was easy to make & I would again. Next time I will add garlic. I used fresh red peppers instead of jarred. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Made for Spring 2010 Pick A Chef.
