This is a salad dressing I love making to accompany a pizza or pasta night. It goes down equally well as a side to a BBQ when we are entertaining. I am always asked, “what IS this?”. It almost doesn’t deserve the attention it gets with how simple it is to make! It’s as easy as combining a few ingredients to create a creamy, smooth dressing reminiscent of a Caesar salad dressing. Add garlic croutons, crunchy bacon bits and anchovies to make it sing as a dish on its own.
