Caesar Salad is a classic dish originating from Italian-American cuisine, believed to have been created by chef Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. Traditionally made from crisp romaine lettuce, creamy Caesar dressing, garlic croutons, Parmesan cheese, and sometimes topped with anchovies, it offers a balance of crunchy texture and savory flavors. The lettuce provides vitamins A and K, along with fiber that supports digestion. Parmesan adds calcium, while the olive oil in the dressing contributes healthy monounsaturated fats. However, the salad’s dressing is often high in calories, sodium, and saturated fat due to ingredients like mayonnaise and cheese. Moderation and ingredient adjustments, such as lighter dressing options or less cheese, can enhance its nutritional profile. Popular as a side or main dish with added grilled chicken or shrimp, Caesar Salad remains a versatile and satisfying choice for many meals.
