Caesar dressing, a classic in the culinary world, has a fascinating history that dates back to the city of Tijuana, Mexico, in the 1920s. It was created by Italian-American chef Caesar Cardini, who devised this dressing to enhance the flavor of salads and other dishes. In many Latin American countries, this preparation is also known simply as "Caesar dressing," although in some regions it may vary in ingredients or name, but always maintaining its creamy and savory essence.
In addition to Mexico, in countries such as Argentina, Chile, and Colombia, this dressing is frequently used to accompany salads, meats, and vegetables, being a favorite in both casual and gourmet cuisine. Its popularity has transcended borders, adapting to different palates, and it is often combined with homemade mayonnaise to achieve a smoother and creamier texture, as is the case with the Caesar mayonnaise dip we will describe below.
