I really did not care for this at all. My hubs didn't either, but he's not a fan of vinegar based dressings anyways. :( Most noticeable to me, the vinegar / oil ratio was terribly off. My dressing tasted like straight up EVOO - and rightfully so... 2/3 c. of olive oil is far too much! Even store-bought vinaigrette isn't this oily! Perhaps my taste buds are "off," but I won't be attempting this again to find out. Maybe this will suit your tastes, but it really didn't do anything for us. Thanks anyways, chefmommy. :-)

Great dressing! It's not too oily and the parmesan is a great addition to give it some really good body! I thought it was yummy! Thanks!

Great recipe using things you have on hand! Didn't have white wine vinegar, so used one Tbsp lemon juice and one Tbsp balsamic instead. And only used 1/2 c. oil. Tasted so fresh!

My husband loved this recipe. I didn't use all of the oil or any lemon zest but it was really good.

I'm always looking for good salad dressing recipes because my husband and I eat so much salad. This one had a nice light flavor and wasn't overpowering like some balsamic vinaigrettes. It also had a hint of sweetness along with tanginess, which I like.

Light, refreshing dressing that lets the salad greens shine and be the star. Didn't add the Parmesan to the dressing, preferring to add freshly shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano right before serving. Also elected to omit the sugar, even tho' it was a slight amount. Hubs and I really enjoyed this. I was particularly appreciative of the olive oil to vinegar ratio, which made this much less acrid and tangy than other dressings. Nice.

tasty when stirred up enough. My husband tried to use it when it had settled and didn't stir it enough and got a big mouth full of oil! Will probably not use often ; )

Excellent salad dressing! It's more of a vinaigrette than a traditional Caesar dressing. It's great with or without the Parmesan cheese. And, it doesn't overpower your mixed greens - this is a definite keeper.

This was my first time following a recipe for dressing, normally I just throw a bunch of things together and hope they work, I added some more garlic salt and lemon juice to complement the main dish of the night. Nice dressing!

Tasty dressing, though I wouldn't really describe it as a caesar. More like a vinaigrette that is slightly reminiscent of a caesar. I didn't have any Italian seasoning so I used a sprinkle of basil, thyme and oregano each and I used about half the recommended lemon zest because that's all I had on hand.
