Caesar salad dressing

Caesar salad is one of my favourites, this dressing is easy to make and will finish off your Caesar salad just right.

Sauce without sh*t

It is a sad fact that you can find sugar in pretty much every mass-produced food item. If you stop and read the back of the bottles of sauce and salad dressing, you will find a scary amount of sugar in sauces and dressings that you don’t need it in. The first dressing I learned to make at home without any sugar was the classic Caesar salad dressing. The dressing can be created in just a few minutes using easy mayo and some simple pantry ingredients. Learning to make your own dressings means you won’t get caught out by shit-filled dressings or stung for extra cash to buy ‘clean’ versions at your local health food store.
