About Caesar salad with creamy dressing

Caesar Salad with Creamy Dressing is a classic dish rooted in Italian-American cuisine, created by Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. This popular salad features crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and a rich dressing made from ingredients like egg yolk, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and Parmesan cheese. Some variations may include anchovies for added depth of flavor. While packed with freshness and fiber from the lettuce, Caesar salad is also known for its caloric dressing, which is high in fats due to the oil and cheese content. The croutons contribute texture but can add refined carbs. Overall, Caesar Salad can be a nutritious choice when consumed in moderation or customized with lighter dressing options and whole-grain croutons. It provides a mix of vitamins, minerals, and protein, depending on its preparation.
