Caesar dressing is a creamy, savory condiment traditionally used for Caesar salad. Originating in Mexico in the 1920s, it was created by Italian-American chef Caesar Cardini. Classic Caesar dressing combines ingredients like olive oil, egg yolks, Parmesan cheese, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. While the dressing is rich in flavor, it’s also high in calories and fat, particularly saturated fat, due to the oil and cheese. Anchovies and Parmesan, however, provide protein and umami, while lemon juice offers a dose of vitamin C. Some variations substitute mayonnaise for egg yolks or lighten the recipe with yogurt. When consumed in moderation, Caesar dressing can add zest to dishes, but its high sodium and calorie content should be considered when planning a balanced diet.
