Traditional Caesar dressing is typically gluten-free, as its main ingredients (egg yolks, oil, lemon juice, anchovies, garlic, and Parmesan cheese) do not contain gluten. However, some store-bought or restaurant versions may include gluten-containing additives or thickeners, so it’s always best to check the label or ask about ingredients if you have gluten sensitivities.
Source of healthy fats: Many Caesar dressings contain olive oil, which is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
Provides protein: The inclusion of eggs and sometimes anchovies adds protein to the dressing.
Contains vitamins: Ingredients like lemon juice and garlic provide vitamin C and other antioxidants.
Mineral content: Parmesan cheese, often used in Caesar dressing, is a good source of calcium.
Promotes satiety: The combination of fats and protein can help you feel fuller for longer.
Flavor enhancer: It can make salads more appealing, potentially increasing vegetable consumption.
Probiotic potential: Some homemade versions using raw egg yolks may contain beneficial bacteria.
Garlic benefits: Garlic in the dressing has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
Bone health: The calcium from cheese can contribute to bone health.

Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
