Caesar salad is one of those things I came to love later in life. That’s because I use to make it almost everyday, sometimes several times a day when I was waitressing in high school at a local Pizza restaurant. It was never that great. We had a bottled dressing we use to use, and nothing we did made it taste any better. It was several years after I left that job that I ever even thought of making Caesar salad in my own kitchen.
When I finally tried homemade Caesar salad at home, I couldn’t believe how wonderful it was. Now we eat it all the time, and my favorite way to have it is in a wrap. Here I have made a homemade Caesar dressing that doesn’t use raw eggs. We also add a few anchovies to ours too, but feel free to skip those if you don’t like whole anchovies.
