Cesar dressing- the quick and easy kind

For months now, maybe years, my husband and I put a chicken on the rotisserie every Sunday. It's our easy Sunday dinner, the day we try to wind down before the beginning of the new week ahead. Not only does it make for an easy Sunday dinner, paring it with a green and often a starch of some kind, it really has become a "no brainer" for us- and that's a good thing come Sunday afternoon! The best part of this chicken? Well, it becomes multiple meals, and in my book that's a very good thing. We will use left over chicken for
  1. Chicken fajitas
  2. Chicken enchiladas
  3. Chicken salad (lunch type)
  4. Cesar salad with chicken
Most often we make chicken fajitas with left overs on our inside griddle- super easy and super tasty. Last night we chose Cesar salad with fresh Romaine, fresh ground  parmesan cheese and  black pepper. Since we were out of Cesar dressing, Joe whipped up this tasty recipe.

Cesar dressing:

6 cloves garlic (we omit this)
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp Vinegar
2 Tbsp Mayo (we use Veganase)
Salt
Pepper
Lemon juice
Minced Anchovy fillets (optional)

Compine garlic, mustard, vinegar and two pinches of salt in a bender and mix thoroughly. Add may and blend together. In a slow  stream and olive oil through hole in lid. Scrape dressing with spatula into a bowl and season to taste with salt, peper and lemon juice. Add minced anchovies to taste if you desire.

Yum, yum! Love this recipe, and we always have the ingredients on hand to whip it up in a jiffy. We toss the romain, chopped up left over cold chicken, parmesan and black pepper in a big bowl and dig in. Love, love, love this!

Enjoy!
