Caesar dressing is a creamy, flavorful condiment traditionally used in Caesar salads but can enhance various dishes. Originating from Mexican cuisine, it was created by Italian-American restaurateur Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. Its classic recipe includes ingredients like olive oil, egg yolks, Parmesan cheese, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard, delivering a bold, tangy, and savory taste. While olive oil and lemon juice provide heart-healthy fats and vitamin C, anchovies offer omega-3 fatty acids. However, Caesar dressing can be calorie-dense due to the cheese, egg yolks, and added fats. Commercial versions may also contain higher amounts of sodium and preservatives. For a healthier twist, homemade recipes can substitute lighter oils, reduce cheese, or eliminate raw egg yolks. Caesar dressing serves as a rich indulgence, best enjoyed in moderation within a balanced diet.
