I made this dressing and it was yummy! sometimes I put a pinch of tahini to thicken it nicely, what do you think?
I think that is totally cool! Makes it extra silky smooth! You can also try hummus next time!
Absolutely hands-down the best caesar salad dressing! I wouldn’t change a thing!

Just what I was looking to make! I added extra lemon juice because we love more lemon on everything. Perfect for Caesar salad or even other experimental salads.
