Very good! While I do agree about using the anchovy paste, it is very salty so I would use a bit less next time. You only need a little bit of this dressing to dress an entire bowl of greens, and it is very tasty.

Excellent..just what I was looking for. Just the right amount of garlic and tanginess. I substituted cojita chesse for the parmesean cheese since I'm serving the caesar salad with enchiladas.

We liked the authentic taste of the anchovies. I also liked the taste of the sour cream rather than some recipes that use mayo or mustard in place of an egg. This was very potent which pleased my kids as more flavor = better in thier minds. I made pizza on the grill and the salad was the first thing gone, not the pizza!!! It needed something. I added salt and pepper...good now, but will keep trying to figure out what is missing.

Not the best caesar dressing I've had... for my taste, I'll use it for a base and "twiddle". I'm in the process of making it now. I thought the amount of oil sounded like too much so cut it to 1 cup. I thought the amount of anchovy paste sounded like too much so I started with a little and I am still adding. I don't think the 2 table spoons is going to be too much. Also, I needed to add 2 more large cloves of garlic. Just tasted it again and I think I'll add even more anchovy paste. It's still not quite right but not bad at all... Thanks for a nice recipe.

Really, really tasty. I used a whole can of anchovy filets because that's what I had on hand, they ground up really well in my mini food processor. Started on the lesser side of the olive oil, then added more to make it the consistency I wanted. Put it in the ol' Wishbone Italian Dressing jar for easy storage and serving. I really prefer a homemade dressing to store bought, but worry about the shelf life. I usually don't keep/eat it more than 3-4 days after preparing. Anyone out there know how long a dressing like this will stay fresh in the fridge?

The first time I made this dressing I didn't have the anchovy paste and thought it was very good. The second time I made it I used anchovy paste and WOW what a difference. I love this dressing!

This is totally different from the creamy white Caesar dressings I'm used to having in restaurants. I would describe the finished product as a Ceaser-esque vinigrette. The taste was fairly authentic. Like the desciption says, it tastes better after a couple of days in the fridge. Way too much oil for my liking, but as this dressing seperates when left to stand, I just skimmed off the surface oil. A small amount of this dressing goes a long way as it's very flavourful. Perfect with a green salad (not just romaine leaves) topped with smoked salmon, poached egg and crusty toasted wholewheat bread.

I had run out of the store bought stuff and needed a quick and easy recipe, needless to say I probably won't be buying the store stuff anymore. I thought this recipe was perfect and I had the satisfaction of knowing I had made it myself. I didn't have any anchovies so I omitted them, might try it with anchovies next time. It is true what the other reviews said... it isn't exactly the same as the restaurant version but then most home cooked meals aren't. I loved it.

Made exactly as stated. Delicious! You need only a tablespoon at a time mixed with the Romaine or you will get too much dressing!!! We added some Parmesan on top with croutons.

This was really good. I added salt and pepper, and only 1 tbsp of the anchovy paste. I would have liked it a little thicker....maybe next time I will add more sour cream. It is a keeper!

I made this last night and it was great. I didnt use as much olive oil , as a matter of fact, I knew I wasnt going to like the anchovies paste idea, so i used the olive oil that comes with my store bought anchovies for the dressing. It turned out great. I also added a little black pepper.

This is really good! We've been spending a fortune on Paul Newman's Caesar dressing, so was glad to find this one. Thanks!

NOT SURE WHY THIS HAD SO MANY STARS: I really did not like this dressing at all. I am a traveler and my diet consists mostly of salads and I have eaten Caesar salads at some of the finest places to eat in the world. I am well accquainted with what to expect and this was not acceptable. I tried to modify the bitter and unpleasant results and it was almost unsalvagable. I DO NOT recommend this if you are used to fine dining Caesar salads- you will be very disappointed.

This has become a staple in our kitchen. Very easy to whip up on a weeknight with some help from my daughter! We we sometimes substitute the sour cream for plain yogurt.

This is such an amazing caesar dressing! To make it my own and to give it a less lemony taste I add a quarter cup of sugar to the recipe. This is the only caesar dressing that I use on salads now! This is a great and delicious recipe!
