Caesar salad is a popular dish originating from Mexican cuisine, believed to have been created by Italian-American chef Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. Despite its simplicity, it has a bold and savory flavor profile. The classic version includes crisp romaine lettuce, creamy dressing made with egg yolk, olive oil, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, and anchovies, and is often topped with crunchy croutons. While it’s rich in vitamins A and K from the lettuce and calcium from the Parmesan, Caesar salad can be high in calories and saturated fats due to the dressing and cheese. Opting for light dressing or reducing cheese can make it healthier. Adding lean proteins like grilled chicken or shrimp enhances its nutritional value, making it a balanced meal choice. Perfect as a starter or main dish, this salad is a timeless favorite across many cuisines.
