Caesar Dressing

Caesar Dressing

Everyday

Caesar dressing is a creamy, tangy condiment traditionally made with anchovies, raw egg yolks, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil, originally created for the classic Caesar salad. Its rich umami flavor and velvety texture come from emulsifying these ingredients, though modern variations often omit raw eggs or use plant-based alternatives for dietary preferences. While nutrient-dense, it is typically high in fat and sodium, with store-bought versions sometimes containing added preservatives or thickeners.
