CAESAR SALAD DRESSING



Caesar Salad Dressing image

There's no need to limit this dressing to Caesar salad--- It is also wonderful for any steamed or raw vegetables, particularly asparagus,articokes, and new potatoes. Transform it into a dip for crudites by adding 1cup of low fat yogurt. This recipe comes from the Moosewood Restaurtant Cooks at Home cookbook. This cookbook has recipes of a healthier version. You may find this recipe somewhat different than the Ceasar salad that you may be accustomed to.
