Caesar Salad

I went with salad because last week I gained three pounds hey not that I mind but with all the cook books I have to go through

The Joy of Cooking .....Erma Rombauer.....1952

This California recipe calls for 1/2 cup of olive oil, none other, in which a clove of garlic, peeled and sliced has been placed for at least 24 hours.
I will be 30 pounds by mid year. Gosh I love food!
