Caesar dressing is a creamy and savory condiment traditionally used on Caesar salads, which originated in Mexico in the 1920s by Italian-American restaurateur Caesar Cardini. It combines ingredients like egg yolk, olive oil, anchovies, garlic, Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and black pepper for its rich, tangy flavor profile. While olive oil and anchovies provide healthy fats and omega-3s, the dressing is often calorie-dense due to the use of oils, cheese, and egg yolks. Store-bought versions may also include additional preservatives and higher sodium levels. Homemade Caesar dressing allows for more control over ingredient quality and portion sizes, making it a slightly healthier option. Despite its indulgent nature, Caesar dressing adds bold flavor to salads and dishes, but mindful consumption is key to maintaining balance in a nutritious diet.
