Caesar Salad Dressing

4 servings

20 minutes

Caesar salad dressing is not just a condiment but the heart of the world's most famous salad. Its history dates back to 1924 when Italian chef Caesar Cardini first mixed this dressing in his restaurant in Mexico. The creamy texture with tangy notes of anchovies, garlic, and Dijon mustard gives the salad a rich, intense flavor. Capers add a slight acidity, while olive oil makes it velvety. This dressing pairs perfectly not only with classic Caesar but also with seafood, meat, and vegetables. Its unique balance of flavors makes every meal special.
