My childhood comfort food is strangely - or maybe not strangely...you tell me - caesar salad. I remember running errands with my mom on the weekends sometimes and if we ended up at a California Pizza Kitchen for lunch, then I would always get a kid's menu caesar salad. I loved the pungent and creamy dressing and of course, the Parmesan cheese. Plus, CPK's version used to serve Goldfish crackers on top as well for garnish and I thought that was so cute.
When I was recreating my perfect caesar dressing, I wanted to include all of my favorite ingredients in the ratios that I always wished they would come: lots of garlic, cheese, and anchovy in a thick and creamy base. I added poached shrimp to mimic my childhood memory of eating the Goldfish on top, but this salad is delicious with nearly any protein or by itself as a lighter option.
