Creamy Caesar Dressing
This Caesar dressing is a creamy, tangy, and flavorful condiment that is perfect for salads, sandwiches, and wraps. It is made with a combination of mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. The dressing is whisked together until smooth andcreamy, then refrigerated for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and develop, resulting in a dressing that is both delicious and versatile.
The Caesar salad was invented in 1924 by Italian immigrant Caesar Cardini at his restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico. Cardini's original recipe for the dressing is a closely guarded secret, but it is believed to have included mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic, and anchovies. Over the years, many different variations of the Caesar dressing have been created, but the basic ingredients remain the same. Our recipe for Creamy Caesar Dressing is a modern take on the classic, using Greek yogurt to add a tangy and creamy flavor. We also use a combination of mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese to create a rich and flavorful dressing that is perfect for any occasion.
