One cup of Caesar is around 100 grams and contains approximately 190 calories, 4 grams of protein, 16 grams of fat, and 8 grams of carbohydrates.
Caesar is a classic salad that combines crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and savory Parmesan cheese, all drizzled with a creamy, tangy dressing made from garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, and olive oil. Originating from Mexico, this beloved dish has transcended borders to become a staple of Italian-American cuisine. While rich in flavor, the Caesar salad can be high in calories and fat, primarily due to the dressing and cheese. However, with fresh greens and lean protein options like grilled chicken, it can also be a nutritious choice, delivering essential vitamins and minerals alongside satisfying crunch.
