The recipe for this Caesar Salad Dressing started from a printed recipe from ‘Chez Bob’ which my sister-in-law emailed to me. The recipe sheet did not have an address or a phone number, and the paper was yellowed with age and stained with drops of Worcestershire Sauce. This was the beginning of a quest for the perfect (all according to your own taste) Caesar Salad Dressing, and I think I have it!
