Happy sweet 16 friends…
2016 is officially underway and this is my first blog post of the new year, and although healthy and fitting for New Years resolution time… I am thinking the next post will have nothing to do with salad, as this appears to be my 3rd installment in a row on the subject :/
This recipe wasn’t even meant to be added here, but after posting a pic of the delicious roast chicken and Caesar dinner my Mom and I enjoyed last Sunday, a girlfriend asked if the recipe was on the blog…. being the die hard people pleaser, I just had to add it 🙂
This recipe is a clean and crisp version of the classic dressing and I am adding vegan substitute options as well…Enjoy! XO
