Avocado Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe

January 24, 2013January 13, 2021 Alexa Clark 2 Comments Avocado, Caesar Salad, Gastropost, Lex & Ger's Cookbook 2000, Nomsa, Paradisus, Salad

This Caesar salad dressing recipe was designed to allow me to enjoy Caesars when I wasn’t able to eat eggs. It uses avocado instead of egg and is richer and much better than many of Caesar Salad dressings I’ve had both in restaurant and commercially, while still staying true to the original flavours in a traditional Caesar Salad dressing.
