Caesar Dressing

Cultural Context

Originating in Mexico but popularized in the United States, Caesar Dressing is a staple of the classic Caesar Salad. Traditionally made with simple, high-quality ingredients, it embodies the spirit of Italian cuisine by balancing flavors of umami, acidity, and creaminess. Today, it is enjoyed globally, often adapted with variations like vegan or healthier versions.
