CREAMY CAESAR SALAD DRESSING
Traditional Caesar salads are made with crisp

½-inch (1.25 cm) cubes

Select Purée. Pulse to chop, 10–12 times.
Add garlic to blender jar; pulse to chop, 5–10
times. Add the next 9 ingredients and blend
for 10 seconds until smooth. Combine the two
oils in a measuring cup with pour spout.
Remove the measured pour lid. With the
blender running, slowly add the oils in a slow
steady stream through the lid while holding
the measured pour lid over loosely over the
cover to prevent spatter. Blend until smooth
and creamy, about 45–50 seconds. Allow
dressing to sit for 15–20 minutes for flavours
to blend. If not using immediately, place
dressing in a covered airtight container and
refrigerate for up to 3 days. If separation
occurs, return dressing to blender jar, cover
and blend on Purée for 5 seconds.
