Chef's Note

"This homemade Caesar dressing transforms any salad into something extraordinary - once you taste the bright, garlicky richness of fresh-made dressing, you'll never go back to bottled. Don't be intimidated by the anchovies; they simply add that signature savory depth that makes Caesar irresistible."
