• B. Caesar dressing; Allergies: Dairy, Egg
• C. Ranch dressing; Allergies: Dairy, Gluten, Egg
• D. Vinaigrette; Allergies: Gluten, Egg

Answer: (A)

Caesar dressing is the defining component of a Caesar Salad, and it brings together several ingredients that introduce common allergens. Parmesan cheese provides dairy, the traditional dressing uses egg yolk for emulsification, and many classic recipes include anchovies, which are fish. Additionally, if Worcestershire sauce is used or if croutons are part of the salad, gluten can be present. Because of these typical ingredients, the most complete allergy set to consider for a Caesar Salad is dairy, gluten, egg, and fish. The other dressings listed aren’t standard for this salad, and their allergen profiles don’t match the familiar components of Caesar dressing.
