ceasar salad

November 06, 2008

Hi Dr's a few of us were talking and wondering in having ceasar salad during pregnancy was a bad thing due to the raw eggs? is there a difference between the dressing you by in the grocery store and the fresh kind made a a resturant? I am a bit worried because ceasar salad is a huge craving for me and I eat it ALL the time

Thank you Mel

Hey Mel, some of us asked this a while back, and ultimately the eggs are not safe, however, I have had a ceasar salad or 2 this pregnancy- and been fine- I also had a major craving for it. I think its ok in moderation... :)

I asked the exact same question when I was pregnant. I wouldn't eat it if I were you, I didn't. The restaurant ones always always have the raw egg in it, you can find some in stores that do not have it and then you can bring it with you out to eat. There's a reason why raw egg isn't good in pregnancy and the way I looked at it, it was worth not drinking and not eating the few things you shouldn't while pregnant. Hot dogs are another big question..I only ate one when I nuked it in the microwave until the darn thing almost exploded. LOL
