About Cesar salad sauce
Caesar salad dressing, originating from Italy-Mexico cuisine fusion by Caesar Cardini in the early 20th century, is a creamy mix of ingredients like olive oil, anchovies, egg yolks, garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. Known for its rich and tangy flavor, it contains healthy fats from olive oil and protein from anchovies and egg yolks. The sauce provides micronutrients, including vitamins A and D, calcium from cheese, and antioxidants from garlic. While flavorful, it is typically calorie-dense due to the oils and cheese content and may contain higher sodium levels depending on the recipe or brand.
