About Caesar salad

Caesar Salad is a classic dish originating from Mexican-American cuisine, traditionally attributed to chef Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. It features crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and a tangy dressing made from ingredients like olive oil, egg yolks, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, and anchovies. Grated Parmesan cheese often tops the salad, with optional protein additions like grilled chicken or shrimp. The salad offers nutritional benefits such as fiber from the lettuce and healthy fats from olive oil. However, its dressing and cheese add calories, saturated fat, and sodium, making moderation key for those watching their intake. Light versions with reduced-fat dressing or added vegetables can boost its health appeal. Whether enjoyed as a side or main dish, Caesar Salad remains a rich blend of flavors and textures that satisfies diverse palates.
