Chris's Caesar Salad with Meatballs

In the olden days before Pinterest,

I would comb through my magazines ripping out ideas and recipes.

(well, actually I still do it a little)

I recently came across page 192 from the June 2006 Food and Wine, 

where I had saved their Caesar Salad with Meatballs...

That was before I knew my friend Chris,

 and was lucky enough to have her Caesar Salad Dressing

It is creamy, garlicy and tangy.

We have it a least once a week, tossed with romaine and shaved parmesan cheese.

What a perfect pairing for a Meatball Caesar Salad...

Chris's Caesar Dressing

in a blender combine:

2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar

1 egg

2 minced garlic cloves

2 tsp rinsed capers

1 tsp ground mustard

a dash or two of Tabasco

a dash or two of Worcestershire Sauce

then slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil

I know that back in 2006, I made the Food and Wine meatballs and they were fabulous.

Truth be told, for my 2014 version, I use the Trader Joe's Party Size Mini Meatballs.

I guess 8 years ago, I had a lot more time on my hands.
