Light Caesar dressing is a healthier twist on the classic Caesar salad staple, offering the same creamy, tangy flavor with fewer calories and fat. Typically made with Greek yogurt or light mayonnaise as a base, it incorporates ingredients like lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and Parmesan cheese for a robust flavor profile. Anchovy paste or Worcestershire sauce often adds a savory depth, nodding to its Italian-inspired origins, where Caesar Cardini first popularized this dressing in the 1920s. The "light" version reduces heavy oils and eliminates some of the traditional egg yolk for a lower-calorie option while maintaining its rich, zesty character. Though it’s lower in fat, sodium levels can still be notable, so portion control is advised. This dressing is ideal for those looking to enjoy a classic taste in a more balanced, health-conscious way, pairing perfectly with fresh greens or roasted vegetables.
