Caesar Salad Dressing from Julie Cantrell

This is one of my all time favorites and I think it is the best Caesar dressing I've ever eaten. I much prefer it to the creamy ones. I got the recipe from my daughter Maggie about 12 years ago.

Mix together:

1 clove garlic, or more
2 tsp anchovy paste or 8 anchovy fillets
1/3 cup olive oil
3 Tbl lemon juice
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dry mustard
freshly ground pepper

Toss with 1 large or 2 small bunches Romain lettuce, croutons, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Eat as a side, or top with grilled chicken, salmon, shrimp, or whatever suites your fancy.

Strawberry Spinach Salad from Julie Cantrell

1/4 cup canola oil
2 Tbl sugar
2 Tbl cider vinegar
1 Tbl chopped onion
1 tsp poppy seeds
1/4 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp Winchester sauce
chopped or sliced toasted almonds
baby spinach leaves
Strawberries

Slice the strawberries and add to the washed baby spinach along with the toasted almonds.
Mix the dressing together, pour over the spinach mixture and enjoy.
