caesar salads are on of my favorite appetizers to order when we go out to eat. the first thing i ask when ordering, if it is homemade, because you can taste the difference. my family loves this salad! if you are not a fan of raw egg, add 2 tablespoons of mayo instead. a great way to use leftover chicken.
