We plant rows and rows of basil every spring so that we can make this pesto all summer long. To keep the pesto bright green, you can add one vitamin C tablet to the mixture when you add the pine nuts and Parmesan.

This creamy dressing is quick and easy, and it keeps in the refrigerator up to 1 week. We make it with pasteurized eggs at the Market, but if you can’t find pasteurized eggs where you live, you can substitute mayonnaise. Caesar dressing is not only delicious on Caesar salads; it’s terrific as a sandwich spread, or to sauce grilled or poached chicken breasts or boiled or roasted new potatoes, or as a dip for crudite.
