What a HUGH Success!!! Everyone loved it. I didn't use the capers or anchovies. Was not crazy about the grilled romaine - too hard to cut but it was ok. The dressing was super! I did sprinkle some chopped bacon and salata ricotta on top. Next day I used the dressing for a grilled chicken salad. Will definitely make again.

So good i had to send some home with our dinner guests. I have never seen salad disappear so fast!
Like someone else said, this isnt really caesar dressing but it's delish.
EDIT - i didnt have time to roast garlic so i was planning on adding it later but i didnt! it was awesome without the garlic.
