Best Original Cesar Cardini Caesar Salad Recipes
CAESAR SALAD (THE ORIGINAL)
This is from Margaret Fultons revised 1968 cookbook (a Christmas present from the DD - my original is rather dog eared and stained) in which she states "This is the authentic recipe made for me by the Cardini family in Mexico, the creataors of the caesar salad. Particular care was taken to lay the tender, elongated cos leaves all in the one direction." Times are estimated.

ORIGINAL CESAR CARDINI CAESAR SALAD
This is the only dressing I will ever use for Caesar Salad. It is from the creator of the Caesar Salad, Cesar Cardini. You can make it, like I do, or you can buy it in the store. It's a large bottle for 6.99 but this dressing goes a long way. NOTE that the original salad did not have bacon, croûtons or anchovy in it, but you can add them.

- Toss with lettuce right before serving.

- NOTES: If you prefer a more evolved dressing, add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 3-4 anchovies minced finely and then mashed into a paste and mixed well into the dressing. You can also add in croûtons.
