- 2 minutes – The white isn’t fully set and the yolk is totally raw.
And I think it's usually just the yolks used in a Caesar dressing, so you would have the partially cooked whites left over.
So if the yolk is completely raw why cook it in the first place? Many Caesar salad dressings call for (uncooked) egg yolks. Is this some sort of attempt at pasteurization to avoid salmonella? I’m just curious.
