Ah, Caesar Salad is a classic dish rooted in Italian-American cuisine, traditionally attributed to Caesar Cardini, an Italian chef who created it in the 1920s. This salad typically features crispy romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and parmesan cheese, all brought together by a rich and creamy Caesar dressing made with egg yolk, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dijon mustard, and anchovies. While it’s beloved for its bold flavor and satisfying texture, its nutritional profile is a mix of strengths and moderation needs. The romaine provides fiber, hydration, and essential vitamins like A and K. The parmesan cheese and anchovies contribute protein and calcium, though the dressing can be calorie-dense due to its fat content. For a healthier twist, lighter versions of the dressing or whole-grain croutons can be used without sacrificing its signature taste. Whether as a standalone dish or paired with grilled protein, Ah, Caesar Salad is a timeless favorite.
