With that said, this is of course, about the dressing, not necessarily the salad. I've been researching Caesar dressings that did not use anchovies. All of them substituted Worcestershire sauce... which was a bit of a duh moment for me... I mean Worcestershire sauce is made with anchovies!! The perfect substitution!!! And, just for fun, I added a little Sriracha too to help spice it up a bit. Now, I know the title says Caesar dressing, but don't think that just because it references a specific salad that it means it's the only salad you can use it on. That's just nonsense! Use it on a regular side salad, use it in chicken or tuna salad, us it to marinate chicken... I really don't care what you do, as long as you give it a try!!

Now to the titles Tilapia Tootsie and Sauce Queen I need to add Dressing Diva.
Love this - certainly perks up a regular Ceasar salad - I'd have "only a salad" for dinner if it were this one!

Jenn, this is perfect! I love Caesar dressing but never buy it any longer due to the typical bad ingredients. But this is great, and I have all the ingredients on hand! I'm making this today. And btw, we now use Sriracha sauce in tomato juice. It makes it SO much better! (thanks for introducing me to Sriracha.) :-)
Look at you with TWO salads now! The dressing sounds great and you know what? I had no idea that Worcestershire was made from anchovies!
I may have to make this soon... it looks and sounds fantastic!
This looks delicious! My husband would never have been caught dead eating a salad before we got married. I slowly conditioned him to like them and now we are golden. :)
Rick Bayless has a Caesar Dressing salad in one of his cookbooks that is out-of-this-world. I served it for Larry and Bev when they were here. They liked it. If you don't have all his cookbooks, I'll send you the recipe. Let me know. And yes, it has worcestershire sauce. And cayenne. sealed
No anchovies or anchovy paste? I'm shocked ;)
