A HOT TIP FOR MAKING THE BOMB CAESAR SALAD DRESSING:
Don’t skip the anchovy paste!
Unless you’re vegetarian, anchovy paste is an absolute must! It adds a depth of flavor that cannot be replicated. The amount recommended in the recipe won’t be fishy whatsoever. Sometimes I add a smidge more than what I’ve noted in the recipe.
Let’s just say it’s one of those ingredients you wouldn’t know was there, but you would know if it was missing.
Cento is my go-to brand for anchovy paste. Made with anchovies from the Adriatic, this resealable tube is always in my fridge!
