Creamy Caesar Salad image

My mother in-law found this recipe for me to try at our Christmas eve cooking contest! It is so fantastic! If you like creamy caesar dressing you will love this! Needless to say, we won the contest!!! I've made this quit a bit and never use croutons or the pancetta/bacon and it is still my fav. caesar dressing! Don't leave out...

This salad is a classic for a reason. The dressing is rich and creamy, and the croutons add a nice crunch. I always add some grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a more complete meal.
