Caesar dressing is a creamy, savory condiment traditionally used to enhance Caesar salads. Its origins trace back to Italian-American restaurateur Caesar Cardini, who invented it in the 1920s. The classic recipe combines ingredients like olive oil, egg yolks, garlic, anchovies, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and grated Parmesan cheese, resulting in a rich and tangy flavor profile. While it provides healthy fats from olive oil and beneficial nutrients from anchovies, Caesar dressing is often calorie-dense and high in sodium due to added salt and cheese. Additionally, store-bought versions may include preservatives, sugar, or unhealthy fats, depending on the brand. Moderation is key when incorporating Caesar dressing into meals, as its indulgent elements can quickly add up. For a lighter option, some recipes substitute Greek yogurt for egg yolks, offering similar creaminess with reduced calories and added protein. Perfect for salads or as a dip, it remains a popular classic.
