Ken's Steak House Creamy Caesar Dressing Pouches, 1.5 oz, 12 Pack

Ken's started in 1941 as a steakhouse in Framingham, Massachusetts, and the bottled dressings came later, after customers kept asking to take the house Caesar home with them. This is that creamy Caesar in the 1.5 oz pouch Ken's Foods makes for foodservice, the packet a deli tucks into a takeout bag or a caterer drops into a boxed lunch.

The flavor is savory and slightly tangy, with the anchovy and aged cheese notes a Caesar is built on, and it is thick enough to cling to romaine instead of pooling in the bottom of the bowl. Tear the corner and one portion goes on cleanly, right where you want it.

Past the salad bowl, it is the standard spread for a chicken Caesar wrap, a sandwich dressing on grilled chicken or roast turkey, and a dip for crusty bread or a warm pretzel. Twelve to a pack keeps one within reach in a lunch bag, a desk drawer, or the car.
