Homemade Caesar dressing is a creamy, tangy sauce rooted in Italian-inspired cuisine, originally created in Mexico by chef Caesar Cardini. This rich dressing features core ingredients like egg yolks, olive oil, anchovies, Parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard, often blended to achieve its signature smooth texture. While homemade versions allow control over ingredient quality and balance, traditional recipes can be high in fat and sodium due to the oil, cheese, and anchovies. However, its base of olive oil provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while fresh lemon juice delivers a dose of vitamin C. Anchovies not only add flavor but also offer omega-3s for brain and heart health. Opting for moderate portions or tweaking the recipe with lighter substitutions can make this indulgent dressing a more nutritious addition to salads or other dishes.
