From the William Glen Market: Bill's Classic Caesar Salad

Bill loved this salad. He first learned how to make it from the table-side preparation at Aldo's Restaurant in Town & Country Village in Sacramento, CA. He then got his hands on this particular recipe from a traveling salesman who traveled up and down the west coast, from San Diego to Northern Washington selling his handmade, paper-mache fruits and vegetables to small retail stores.

 

This recipe along with his gazpacho recipe were among his prized recipes and both came from this long time friend, the traveling Mexican paper fruit salesman.
