Caesar dressing is a creamy condiment traditionally used in Caesar salads, originating from Italian-American cuisine in the early 20th century. Its classic recipe includes olive oil, raw egg yolks, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and grated Parmesan cheese, creating a rich, tangy flavor profile. Some versions include anchovies for added umami. While it offers some nutritional benefits, such as healthy fats from olive oil and protein from Parmesan cheese, traditional Caesar dressing can also be high in calories, sodium, and saturated fats, especially in store-bought or restaurant varieties. Modern adaptations often use yogurt or lower-fat ingredients to create lighter options. Used in moderation, it can add delightful flavor to salads, wraps, or grilled vegetables while balancing indulgence with nutrition.
