Caesar Salad is a classic dish originating from Italian-American cuisine, created by restaurateur Caesar Cardini in 1924. This iconic salad combines crisp romaine lettuce, croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, and a creamy dressing made from ingredients like egg yolk, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, and anchovies. Often topped with grilled chicken or shrimp for added protein, it has become a staple in global dining. Nutritiously, Caesar Salad provides fiber from the lettuce, healthy fats from olive oil, and protein from added toppings. However, its traditional dressing and cheese contribute significant amounts of sodium, calories, and saturated fats. Croutons, typically made from white bread, add refined carbs but lack substantial nutrients. Healthier versions include lighter dressings, whole-grain croutons, and added vegetables. A balanced approach can transform Caesar Salad into a delicious, nutrient-dense choice while keeping its beloved flavors intact.
