What You Should Know

Marie's Caesar Dressing is a refrigerated 12 fl oz bottle you’d find in the deli/refrigerated dressings aisle, shelved alongside other creamy dressings, refrigerated dips, jarred pestos and fresh salad kits. It reads like a short-cut version of a restaurant Caesar: rich, tangy romano and anchovy notes threaded through a smooth, emulsified cream base. Shoppers reach for it on quick weeknight runs, for weekend brunches when someone wants an easy Caesar, or when assembling salads and sandwiches for casual dinner parties and game-day spreads. The brand positions itself as approachable, slightly gourmet — “restaurant-quality” and made with real cheese — aimed at adults who want indulgent flavor without making dressing from scratch. The label leans into simple ingredient cues (cheese, sour cream, olive oil) and includes a gluten-free claim, but it does not carry organic certification or child-focused branding. On the ingredient side, the dressing is an industrially formulated condiment: it combines oils, cultured dairy, stabilizers (xanthan gum), and “natural flavors” to achieve shelf-stable texture and consistent taste. Sensory details are straightforward — a thick, creamy pour with a silky mouthfeel, bright lemon and garlic top notes, savory umami from anchovy and romano, and a faint tang from cultured dairy; it comes in a chilled screw-top bottle meant to be shaken and drizzled or used as a dip. Rituals around it include tossing with torn romaine and croutons, dolloping on grilled chicken, or spreading onto sandwiches for an instant flavor lift.
