Who doesn’t love a Caesar salad?  A creamy dressing flavored with Parmesan cheese and that perfectly salty bite from a touch of anchovy paste and garlic, emulsified with the yolk of an egg and fruity olive oil.  With a squirt of lemon juice and a grinding of black pepper, this dressing is wonderful on its own with some crudité to dip, or on a plate of leafy greens.  I loved this creative idea for a traditional Caesar salad—one of the best homemade Caesar dressings I’ve ever come across, the base of this salad screams springtime:  thinly sliced asparagus and tender baby kale leaves!  Flavorful, healthy and not to be passed up.
