Merry Christmas! I always am a little sad after the big day. So much planning, preparation and anticipation and then it's over. Since I hosted Christmas Eve, Day and this weekend, food is in great abundance at my house. Lots of leftovers so many lunches and dinners can be made next week. (I hope!) A big hit has been my father-n-law's recipe for a homemade Caesar dressing. We have enjoyed having a Caesar salad as a side. Next week I plan on making it a main dish with either shrimp or chicken. I am not sure where he found this recipe but it is delicious and easy to make. Homemade dressings are so much better for us. Not only do you save some money by making your own dressing, but you cut down on fat, calories and artificial ingredients too. You can save this in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Doug's Caesar Dressing
4 T olive oil, 2 T Canola oil (we just used olive oil and it works just as well) marinate at least four hours in 3-4 diced garlic cloves. Add the following:
1T Dijon Mustard
1 t lemon juice
2 T red wine vinegar
1 egg yolk or 1 egg beater
1 t anchovy paste
dash honey
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
salt & pepper to taste
Beat with electric mixer to emulsify.
Enjoy!
Wishing all an enjoyable week. I hope you are able to spend time with family and friends, enjoy good food, and share many laughs.
Best wishes,
Donna
