Many Caesar dressings are high in sodium, which can contribute to high blood pressure and other health issues if consumed in excess.Calories- The calorie content of a chicken Caesar salad can also vary depending on the portion size and ingredients used. Adding high-calorie toppings such as croutons, bacon, or avocado can increase the calorie content significantly.
