Creamy "Caesar" Salad Dressing

I'll be the first to admit that this dressing tastes nothing like true caesar (at least to me, anyway). I think this recipe gets its name largely because of the secret ingredient found in traditional caesar salads: anchovy paste. Nevertheless, this creamy, zesty dressing is delicious and will brighten the taste of any salad!
