About Caesar dressing made with cottage cheese
Caesar dressing made with cottage cheese offers a nutritious twist on the classic recipe, blending creamy cottage cheese with key Caesar flavors like garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Parmesan cheese. Hailing from Italian-American cuisine, its origin traces back to the traditional Caesar salad dressing crafted by chef Caesar Cardini. This variation replaces heavier ingredients, such as mayonnaise or sour cream, with low-fat cottage cheese, delivering the tangy richness of the original while significantly reducing calories and fat content. Cottage cheese provides a good source of protein and calcium, supporting muscle health and bone strength, with lower saturated fat compared to conventional dressings. However, sodium content can remain high due to the cheese and other flavor-enhancing ingredients, so moderation is key. For those looking to enjoy a flavorful and creamy dressing with a nutritional edge, this cottage cheese-based Caesar dressing is a heart-smart option.
