Old-fashioned Caesar salad dressing recipes typically call for raw egg yolks, but the yolks in this version are cooked. They're heated with the other dressing ingredients so there's less risk of the yolks scrambling.

Absolutely tantalizing. Some nights I do not want to go through the hassle of cooking, especially when meat is involved. That is when I break out this handy Caesar Dressing recipe and it never failed to disappoint. I use Anchovy Paste instead of the whole little guys, I don't want to be biting into one. It only takes a few minutes to whip up and the yummy salad it rich and doesn't make me feel guilty. Will definitely make this one again.
