About Caesar salad with croutons

Caesar Salad with Croutons is a classic dish of Italian-American origin, traditionally featuring crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and a creamy dressing made with olive oil, egg yolk, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic, and anchovies. This salad is often garnished with additional Parmesan and black pepper for added flavor. It provides a good source of vitamins A and K from the romaine lettuce and healthy fats when olive oil is used in the dressing. However, it can also be high in calories, sodium, and saturated fats due to the dressing, cheese, and fried or butter-coated croutons. For a lighter version, consider whole-grain croutons, reduced-fat cheese, and a yogurt-based or homemade dressing. Caesar Salad’s robust flavors and satisfying texture make it a popular choice as a side dish or light entrée.
