Caesar dressing

Rich and creamy with a sharp garlicky, tangy, umami-forward flavor from anchovy and parmesan.

Lens analyzed

Caesar dressing is a creamy, tangy dressing traditionally made from garlic, anchovy, egg, lemon, and parmesan, though bottled versions are usually egg-free and shelf-stable. It's the defining flavor of a Caesar salad, but also used as a dip or sandwich spread.

Where it comes from

Caesar salad and its dressing were created in the 1920s in Tijuana, Mexico, by restaurateur Caesar Cardini, and the recipe spread widely across North America as one of the most recognized salad dressings on restaurant and grocery shelves.

Buying it

Check the ingredient list for anchovy if avoiding fish, since some bottled Caesar dressings include it while others use a milder, anchovy-free flavor base.

Storing it

Refrigerate Caesar dressing after opening and use within the printed window, typically a few weeks, keeping the cap tightly closed.

Keeps about 3 months in the fridge.
