Caesar Dressing

Caesar Dressing is a creamy salad dressing originating from Italian-American cuisine, known for its tangy, savory flavor from ingredients like garlic, anchovies, Parmesan and lemon. It’s often used to dress Romaine salads, sandwiches, and as a dip for vegetables or grilled meats. Nutritionally, Caesar Dressing is energy-dense and high in fat, providing about 57.8g of fat per 100g — most of its calories come from oils and egg yolk. It can also contribute small amounts of vitamin A and B12 and delivers monounsaturated fats when made with olive oil. From a health perspective, Caesar dressing is best used in moderate amounts: it adds flavor and some beneficial fats but can be relatively high in saturated fat and sodium, so lighter or portion-controlled versions are common choices for those watching intake.
