Try homemade caesar salad dressing recipe.
It is so easy and much better than the store bought bottles of dressing. I love making my own salad dressing and knowing exactly what is going in it. You will not find any hard to pronounce ingredients listed in this dressing.
It seems the store bought salad dressings are loaded with so many ingredients and many you don’t even know what they are. I love making things at home and controlling what goes in them.
I feel so much better about knowing what I am giving my family to eat. It really is a win-win because you also save money.
Plus, this homemade caesar dressing really does taste so much better than anything you can buy at the store. We use a food processor and it is so quick and easy to make.
You can store the salad dressing in a glass dressing bottle or justuse a mason jar. You probably already have several in your cabinet.
If not, you can order one of thesepint size mason jarsand keep it in the fridge. I like this set because it comes with different sizes and labels.
