About Caesar sauce

Caesar sauce is a creamy dressing traditionally used in Caesar salads and various dishes. With origins linked to Italian-American cuisine, it was popularized by Caesar Cardini, an Italian chef working in Mexico during the 1920s. Classic Caesar sauce combines ingredients like olive oil, egg yolks, Parmesan cheese, garlic, anchovies, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and black pepper. These create its rich texture and tangy, savory flavor. Nutritionally, it offers a good source of healthy fats from olive oil and protein from cheese and anchovies. However, it may be high in calories, sodium, and saturated fats, depending on the recipe and portion size. Homemade versions allow for adjustments, such as reducing salt or using low-fat substitutes, to enhance its dietary value. Caesar sauce is a flavorful addition, but moderation is key to fitting it into a balanced diet.
