Caesar Salad is a classic dish originating from Mexican cuisine, crafted by Italian-American restaurateur Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. Traditionally, it features crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and a creamy dressing made with egg yolk, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, parmesan cheese, and anchovies. Often topped with additional parmesan and sometimes grilled chicken or shrimp, this salad strikes a balance between fresh and hearty flavors. Nutritionally, Caesar Salad offers fiber from lettuce and protein from eggs, anchovies, and optional toppings. However, the dressing is calorie-dense due to oils and cheese, and croutons contribute refined carbs. While it can be a satisfying option, moderation and mindful ingredient choices—such as using low-fat dressing—can make it healthier. Its global popularity exemplifies its versatility as both a side dish and a light entrée.
