About Caesar salad dressing

Caesar salad dressing is a creamy condiment originating from Italian-Mexican cuisine, named after its creator Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. Traditionally, it combines egg yolks, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, and anchovies, giving it a rich, tangy, and savory flavor profile. While modern adaptations may vary, its robust taste complements fresh greens and croutons in the classic Caesar salad. Nutritionally, the dressing provides healthy fats from olive oil and protein from egg yolks and anchovies. Parmesan cheese contributes calcium, while lemon juice offers a dose of vitamin C. However, its high fat and calorie content, along with sodium from anchovies and Worcestershire sauce, make moderation key. Opting for lighter versions or homemade recipes can help control these aspects without sacrificing flavor.
