About Cesar salad dressing

Caesar salad dressing is a creamy condiment originating from Italian-American cuisine, specifically created by chef Caesar Cardini in 1924. Traditionally, it features a blend of olive oil, egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, anchovies, Worcestershire sauce, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. This harmonious combination delivers a rich, tangy, and savory flavor profile. Though it’s widely loved for its bold taste, the dressing’s nutritional aspects are worth noting. Olive oil provides healthy fats, but the inclusion of egg yolks and cheese contributes to higher cholesterol and saturated fat content. Anchovies add protein and omega-3 fatty acids, while lemon juice and garlic offer antioxidant properties. However, it can be high in sodium, especially due to the anchovies, Worcestershire sauce, and Parmesan. Moderation is key when enjoying Caesar dressing, making it a decadent but flavorful addition to salads and other dishes.
