*ping* any food freaks out there

[sestree]

I am in search of a good creamy Caesar dressing. It can't be too salty and not vinegary like most of them I have had. On the plus side since I use very little salad dressing the calorie content doesn't count and I actually like the taste of anchovies. Either the salt content is way too high or it's just almost bitter with vinegar. I like Don Pablos' creamy caesar dressing. It's just not available in stores.

Any suggestions?

thank you dear. I was looking for bottled because it has a longer shelf life but I see the advantage of DIY - I can adjust the amounts of stuff in it (or add a wee bit of sugar to take the bite away).

Ok - so where do I get anchovie paste?

btw - you're such a honey *smooch*

Cardini's is without a doubt the best store bought brand out there. We use it at work for our wraps and Caesar salads. You can also find anchovie paste in the grocery store on the same shelf as tuna fish.

DOH!

Just replied about the Cardini's. Don't know why it kept me anonymous.

HA I bet you weren't signed in. LJ is doing thing with the cookies.

Thanks for the info. I could make it myself but ya know I'm just lazy - I wanna find a really good one that I don't have to make.

Also thanks for the tip on the anchovie paste.
