Fish Sauce Caesar Dressing
Let’s talk fish sauce. It’s made of fish that have been coated in salt and fermented for up to two years and it’s commonly used in East and Southeast Asian cuisine. Its strong stuff with bold assertive flavor and its absolutely delicious. This Caesar dressing using fish sauce is quick and delicious— Caesar salad is one of my favorite salads and let’s face it— it’s all about the dressing. So salty, tangy, cheesy and creamy— and fish sauce is our secret weapon. Let’s get our flavor chase on with fish sauce.
