Caesar dressing is a creamy, tangy condiment traditionally used in Caesar salads, originating from Italian-Mexican cuisine and named after chef Caesar Cardini. Its classic recipe includes olive oil, egg yolk, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, and anchovies, creating a rich umami flavor. Some versions incorporate Worcestershire sauce and vinegar for added complexity. While it provides essential nutrients like healthy fats from olive oil and protein from egg yolks and cheese, Caesar dressing is often high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium. Pre-packaged varieties may contain added sugars and preservatives, making moderation important for maintaining a balanced diet. Homemade options or lighter versions, such as Greek yogurt-based recipes, can offer a healthier alternative while retaining its signature taste. Caesar dressing’s bold flavor makes it a versatile complement to salads, wraps, and grilled vegetables.
