Caesar Salad submissions, so I couldn't resist making my famous Caesar Salad with a creamy dressing, especially as it feels like summer today. As I've noted before, this salad remains popular with my dinner guests and I've been asked several times for the recipe. To this day, I've yet to try a tastier version.

Looks fantastic!! I like the use of red wine vinegar! :)
Red Wine vinegar is a must have in every kitchen.
Nice salad Lisa, can you eat it for breakfast though?

Name a food you can't eat for breakfast. Speaking of breakfast, I plan to draft the next smackdown next week.
Great looking Caesar Lisa. Thanks for joining in at HHDD.
