Nutrition Facts
Caesar dressing is a creamy sauce made from egg yolks, olive oil, anchovies, garlic, Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, white wine vinegar and Worcestershire sauce.
Caesar dressing was first created by Italian-American chef Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. Cardini, who owned a restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico, reportedly created the salad and dressing on a busy day when the kitchen was running low on ingredients.
Homemade Caesar dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
Yes, you can omit the anchovies or replace them with additional Worcestershire sauce for a similar umami flavor.
Caesar dressing is high in fats and calories, mainly because of the olive oil and cheese. It can be part of a healthy diet if consumed in moderation.
It is not recommended to freeze Caesar dressing because the emulsion may break down and the texture may change after thawing.
You can make variations such as a lighter version with Greek yogurt, or vegan versions without eggs and anchovies.
Caesar dressing is not only suitable for Caesar salad, but can also be used as a dip for vegetables, sauce for sandwiches or marinade for chicken.
If the dressing is too thin, you can slowly add more olive oil as you keep mixing. If the dressing is too thick, add a little water or additional lemon juice to achieve the desired consistency.
