Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing

INGREDIENTS:
2 Tbsp lemon juice
3/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
3/4 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
2 large garlic cloves, pressed
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin)
1/4 parmesan cheese

1. In a small mixing bowl add first five ingredients. Blend well.
2. Add mayonnaise; blend until smooth.
3. While continually whisking, add oil to mixture in a steady stream. Whisk until blended. Stir in parmesan cheese and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Keeps for 2 weeks.

Makes 1 cup.

Note: For Chicken Caesar Salad, make the dressing. Drizzle about 2 tsp of dressing into the frying pan. Add chicken and cook in a skillet until chicken is no longer pink. Let cool for about 10 min. Slice into thin strips. Serve over romaine lettuce.
You can also serve the entire salad over bowtie pasta (cooked, drained and cooled off) to make it a complete dinner. Garnish the salad with tomatoes and cooked peas.
