Jack's Favorite Caesar Salad Dressing a la Papa

My dad gave a chef in Toronto some really nice pens in exchange for this recipe. I remember when I was a teenager, my parents had a dinner party and accidentally poured Pina Coladas all over the salad instead of the dressing. It was stored in the same kind of jar that held my dad’s dressing. Anyway, after a few unsavory bites and when my parents realized what happened, they announced the invention of “Pina Colada Salada!” This is one of Jack’s favorite recipes.
