About Caesar
Caesar salad is a classic dish originating from Italian-Mexican cuisine, credited to chef Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. Traditionally, it features romaine lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese, and a creamy dressing made from egg yolks, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, and anchovies. Some variations may include grilled chicken or other proteins for added substance. Packed with fiber and vitamins from the lettuce, it offers a refreshing base, while the olive oil and anchovies provide heart-healthy fats and a dose of omega-3s. However, the dressing and cheese contribute significant calories and saturated fats, so portions and preparation methods are key to keeping it nutritious. Opting for lighter dressings, whole-grain croutons, and less cheese can make this flavorful salad a more balanced choice for meals or appetizers. Caesar salad remains a popular dish worldwide, blending indulgence with fresh ingredients.
