Caleco's Caesar Salad Dressing (Copycat)

Cuisine: Italian
Author: Carrabba's Italian Grill

Ingredients

  • ½ cup plus 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 2-½ Tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 5 small anchovies
  • 2 of a medium onion roughly chopped
  • 2 ribs celery roughly chopped -- but what I do is cut off about 4" from the tops INCLUDING all of the celery leaves which is where the greatest amount of flavor is! Then I cut up 2 of the tiny, mild yellow-colored center stalks and their leaves . . . so good!
  • 4 tsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp. mustard
  • ¼ cup pasteurized liquid eggs
  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese my addition
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • ⅔ tsp. Accent
  • 1 tsp. oregano flakes not ground (my addition)
  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ⅓ tsp. paprika

Instructions

  • In a blender, combine all ingredients and process for 3 - 4 minutes, until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
  • Refrigerate until time to serve. Either toss the salads in one big salad bowl, or pass the dressing around to individually dress each guest's salad.
