About Caesar dressing

Caesar dressing is a creamy, savoury salad dressing associated with the Caesar style. It is commonly used to dress leafy salads or served as a dip. The dressing is typically pale yellow to beige, smooth and thick, with a tangy, salty flavour and a pronounced savoury character; recipes and commercial products vary considerably.

Some versions are emulsified with egg and oil, while others use different bases or omit particular traditional ingredients. Anchovy, cheese, garlic, and mustard may appear, but no single formulation is universal. Nutrition comparisons therefore depend on the base, added oils, cheese, and other ingredients, and should distinguish dressing from a lighter vinaigrette.
