What it is

Caesar dressing is a creamy salad dressing that typically includes ingredients like oil, egg yolk, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, Dijon mustard, and anchovies. It is commonly used as a dressing for salads, particularly Caesar salads, but can also be used as a dip or spread.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Caesar dressing as a flavor enhancer and emulsifier in a variety of prepared foods. Its rich and savory taste makes it popular in deli salads, wraps, sandwiches, and as a topping for chicken or fish dishes.

Health notes

Caesar dressing is a complex food product with multiple ingredients, each having its own regulatory status. The FDA considers many of its components, like oil, lemon juice, and spices, to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Some ingredients, such as anchovies or Worcestershire sauce, may contain allergens. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA evaluate individual food additives, but not complex mixtures like dressings. Health effects are related to the overall nutritional profile, including fat and sodium content, which vary by brand and preparation.

Allergen info

Caesar dressing is often made with egg and may contain fish (from anchovies or Worcestershire sauce) and soy (from soybean oil or Worcestershire sauce), which are among the FDA's major allergens. Gluten may also be present depending on the Worcestershire sauce used.
