When it comes to Caesar salad, the dressing is what defines it, turning romaine lettuce and croutons into a restaurant-worthy dish. The caesar salad dressing original includes raw egg yolks, which act as an emulsifier, giving it a silky, rich texture that clings to each leaf. Anchovies, often considered the “secret ingredient,” bring a deep umami flavor, while fresh lemon juice adds a bright tang. Made with quality olive oil, the dressing is a beautiful example of simple ingredients creating an extraordinary taste that has stood the test of time.
