Sauce
Description
A delicious addition to everyday and festive dishes. Caesar salad is quite simple to prepare, yet making it at home as tasty as in a restaurant is rather difficult. The key secret lies in the Caesar salad dressing, which makes the salad so delicious and therefore popular. Well, let me reveal the secret and tell you how restaurant chefs prepare the dressing for Caesar salad (it's more accurate to call it a dressing, since from a culinary standpoint, a sauce is something different). If you follow this recipe, the Caesar salad will turn out superb, thanks to the homemade dressing. Good luck! :) Serve the dressing with meat, fish, or use it as a salad dressing.

It's better to add olive oil in portions rather than all at once. Add part of the oil, blend until smooth, and if the sauce hasn't reached the desired consistency, add more oil.
