    Please, can someone here share a favorite recipe for a
    creamy Ceasar salad dressing? I am particularly fond of one
    purchased at the grocery store that I cannot remember the
    name of, but for the amount given it seems rather pricey.
    This one is bottled in a tapering toward the top, triangular
    shaped bottle. It appears like it has a good deal of
    seasoning in it, as the list of ingredients which daunted a
    from-scratch attempt of replication my me, but perhaps the
    Parmesan causes a lean toward white in coloring. It pours on
    rather thickly, which causes not being able to cleanly pour
    every speck of it out the bottle. I would like to make my
    own to then store in a bowl I can do a "scrape-out" from.

    I would very much appreciate sharings of tell on just how to
    make any of your favorites, thank you.

    of commercial dressings in Ranch, Italian, Creamy italian
    and ceasar is Wishbone.....

    Thank you, Katra. I have tried Caesars produced by companies
    other than that of the triangular shaped bottle source, and
    they've been okay, but not quite as richly flavorful. I
    haven't the bottle's front label, but names of "Giraldi or
    Girandi's are tickling memory here. Through 'net research I
    have found several different recipes, with quite a variation
    in ingredients. I do have the actual ingredients listing
    from the bottle's back for the one I prefer, so if no one
    here offers a recipe sounding somewhat similar I will post
    the list to ask for help in ingredient quantities, as well
    as for better than my so limited knowledge on suggestions
    for what may be omitted when making fresh. Without help
    being offered here, I will simply continue to pay (too much)
    for this from the grocery, though I really would like to
    make it myself.

    Again, thank you....

    Girard's. Most of their dressing are pretty good, but pricey
    (due to the 'fancy' bottle and faux gold foil-covered caps).

    Besides Wishbone Italian (or Zesty Italian), I don't like
    any of the mainline Kraft/Wishbone/Hidden Valley etc..
    brands anymore.

    They all taste like [censored]; I used to like them, but not now.
    I like Good Seasons (using wine vinegar and maybe EVOO and
    other spices - like tarragon), or some of the lesser-known,
    simpler brands without the ingredient that reads like that
    of a Cliff bar.

    Remember that your homemade Caesar will not keep over a day
    or two.... so you need to decide what you really want. One
    that keeps or a non-keeper homemade.

    My best advice is to store your bottled dressing upside
    down, that way you'll get most of it out when you're down to
    the last drops.

    If you decide to go with homemade and want to make a
    "creamy" type Caesar dressing, what you need to do is to use
    the usual ingredients and (here's the big trick) emulisfy
    your dressing in a blender.

    PS: I use the blender method to make an Italian dressing
    that doesn't separate.

    Practice safe eating - always use condiments

    I spotted the very dressing you described this afternoon at
    Safeway. My mind being like a sieve, I already cannot
    remember the name, the they had it on sale at 2 bottles for
    $5.00. Not so expensive, I'd say.

    I think the OP thought it was too expensive, their reason
    for wanting to make it at home.

    Sounds like you're describing Gerard's. They make the best
    bottled dressings I've ever tasted - their champagne
    dressing is second to none - I've been trying to perfect a
    home-made version of it for some time but haven't come
    close yet.

    Safeway currently has them on sale at $3 per bottle, if
    that helps.
