Dawson community recipes: Caesar Salad shared by Kurt Holfeld

Recipe intro by Kurt Holfeld (Interior Design):

This is the well-loved, well-used recipe card I wrote out for my father’s Caesar Salad. He was one of those progressive men in the 1960’s who enrolled in cooking classes and this became his signature dish. We grew up on it and never got used to restaurant versions or bottled dressings as a result.

These days I’ll stretch it into a full meal with some grilled chicken or shrimp, but it still makes a great side dish or salad course. Hoping that others can enjoy!

Cook’s comments:

• You can substitute a little mayonnaise for the raw egg
• You can omit the salt if you use anchovies.
