GARLIC LOVERS SUPER CAESAR SALAD DRESSING!



Garlic Lovers Super Caesar Salad Dressing! image

Why buy Caesar Salad dressing when you can make your own in minutes? You can "play around" with the recipe, less garlic/more garlic etc.. I have been making this dressing for about twelve years and love it. It is a strong dressing so a little goes a long way.

Celery Lovers' Salad With Granny Smith Apples and Walnuts image

I eagerily await each month for my issue of Bon Appetit magazine because of recipes such as this one. The best quality celery and the crispest apples you can find are very important for this recipe. Try to use organic or garden fresh celery with rich green stalks and leaves and not limpy. It will be worth it!
