At a barbecue, where grilled meats take the centre stage, Caesar salad offers a refreshing contrast. It’s crisp lettuce, cool dressing and tangy flavours provide a respite from the rich and hearty flavours of barbecued meats. Here is the “no-egg” recipe for our Caesar salad dressing that was on the food shop menu at Dana Shortt Gourmet for close to 10 years. This recipe makes a big batch but the recipe can easily be halved. It lasts for at least 2 weeks in the fridge. In addition to salads, try using it as a dip for raw vegetables, a gourmet sandwich spread, or if you love aioli with your French fries, try this instead!
