Steps
Add all dressing ingredients to a small bowl or mason jar and whisk together. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.

Susan on 2021-06-12 (5 stars): So great - best Caesar dressing recipe I have tried. I had never made one with apple cider vinegar and I feel this is the secret ingredient that makes this so tasty! Cannot wait to try it again tomorrow with a romaine and kale blend.
