I made this for a dinner party at a friends home. It was the hit of the night. The bowl was scraped clean and several people asked for the recipe. I made the dressing in the blender, used anchovy paste and served anchovies on the side

Definitely five stars. Made this with Mean Chef's Fettuccine Alfredo and Tracy K's brussel sprout recipe. Really terrific--liked how many anchovy fillets were used, really perked up the flavor, and I found the addition of both vinegars to add a whole other dimension to the caesar dressing. Thanks for posting this Evelyn!

This is definitely a 5-star recipe. The blend of vinegars and lemon juice was perfect. My dressing turned out very garlicky, even with just 3 garlic cloves, but my cloves were plump and very fresh, so likely were more flavourful. I really enjoyed the garlic hit. The only ingredient change I made was minor: I subbed anchovy paste for the fillets. And I made this in my cuisinart, rather than whisking by hand. The dressing was easy to make, and was finished in minutes. I took this to a family dinner party honouring my MIL's birthday and watched as everyone cleaned their plates; the salad was a big hit. I also took my Zyliss grater to the party with me so I could cover the salad with freshly grated parmesan, which greatly contributed to both the taste of the salad and the look. Great recipe, Evelyn; it's in my permanent folder

Absolutely delicious. My family loves Caesar salad with store-bought dressing and they were floored by the homemade,more traditional version. My youngest son scoffed at the idea of anchovies (yuck) and raw egg yolks (nasty) until he tasted the salad. Our 1/2 full bottle of purchased Caesar Dressing will go ignored!

I made a Casesar salad with chicken yesterday and used this recipe. It was great. For me this also was the closest to restaraunt taste that I've found. Store bought just doesn't come close. However, I was out of fresh garlic and used powder. Next time though I will use fresh and I may adjust the vinegars a little and maybe try anchovy paste instead of fillets since it will spread better throughout the dressing. Still it was excellent!

So this is what 'real' caesar salad dressing tastes like! NOTHING like supermarket brands where the only thing you taste is vinegar and parmesan. Perfect for my DH's birthday, even the color was gorgeous. Couldn't find flat anchovies, only the rolled ones, which I used and used the whole tin (minus the capers) Thank You evelyn/athens!

this is my favorite salad too, and my youngest picky eater loves this. i used 1 raw egg instead of 2 yolks and also used 6 anchovies, mashed, served some whole on my portion- this is wonderful and the way i've always made it!

I have always wanted to know how to make a great Caesar salad - and now I do. I followed the recipes exactly, and made homemade croutons as well. I also had a really good piece of Parm. cheese, which made it extra delicious. Loved it - so did my DH. Thanks for sharing.
