Miso Caesar Dressing

Caesar salad is one of my favorites, but some people may be repulsed by the thought (or flavor) of anchovies in the dressing. This anchovy-free dressing may be even better than a traditional Caesar dressing; it uses miso paste as an alternative, which provides an even better savory, umami flavor. Make sure to let it rest in the refrigerator for awhile prior to serving to ensure that the flavors meld together.
