This recipe made me fall in love w Caesar salad as a child. It’s still one of my favorite things to eat. I even like bad Caesar salads!

I’m not the one who requested it but I do appreciate the person who posted the Caesar salad recipe here. Thank you. I couldn’t find it online anywhere.
It’s a classic. The best.
