A long time ago, my brother decided he was going to go on a diet and just eat salads. I was proud of him for deciding to do that! That is until I saw what his salad choice was – good old ceasar salad! Likely ceasar salad would not fit in the healthy salad category but the truth is-everyone loves a classic ceasar salad! Impress your family and friends by making your own ceasar dressing. Here’s a super fast and easy recipe for you:
