CREAMY CAESAR SALAD
DRESSING
Traditional Caesar salads are made with
crisp romaine lettuce, croutons, freshly
grated Parmesan and a richly flavored
dressing with garlic, anchovies and raw
eggs. Our updated version uses a pasteur-
ized liquid egg substitute and adds the
flavor of balsamic vinegar for a little twist.

1–2 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons pasteurized liquid egg
substitute or lowfat mayonnaise

anchovy paste)

cup vegetable oil
1 ⁄
3
cup extra virgin olive oil
Place cheese in blender jar; cover blender
jar. Select Purée. Pulse to chop, 10–12
times. Add garlic to blender jar; pulse to
chop, 5–10 times. Add the next 9 ingredi-
ents and blend for 10 seconds until
smooth. Combine the two oils in a measur-
ing cup with pour spout. Remove the meas-
ured pour lid. With the blender running,
slowly add the oils in a slow steady stream
through the lid while holding the measured
pour lid over loosely over the cover to pre-
vent spatter. Blend until smooth and
creamy, about 45–50 seconds. Allow dress-
ing to sit for 15–20 minutes for flavors to
blend. If not using immediately, place
dressing in a covered airtight container and
refrigerate for up to 3 days. If separation
occurs, return dressing to blender jar, cover
and blend on Purée for 5 seconds.
