I was told that salad dressing could be out of the refrigerator indefinately. Is this true?

No, it's not true. Read the label. Does it say "refrigerate after opening?" Follow the instructions.

It depends on the type of salad dressing. If it is refrigerated at the grocery store, obviously it needs to stay cold. Most dressings should be placed in fridge once opened to preserve their contents. It will last longer if placed in fridge,

Nutritionally, it should be fine. It will get wilted, though. The only thing about Caesar dressing to worry about is how it's made. If it is homemade (like from a restaurant), you want to make sure it's a very clean place. Aside from the pureed sardines, its the raw egg whites you need to be careful of. Sometimes salmonella poisoning can occur from the unclean handling of eggs that can get transferred from the egg itself or its handler(s). On the other hand, if you got it out of a bottle, it should be fine as many food manufacturers have to follow FDA guidelines for things like irradiation to ensure the food is clean when distributed in the market.

I'm pretty sure that you shouldn't eat salad dressing after letting it sit out for more than 1/2 hour but i have done it before and I'm not dead so i guess it's ok =)
