About Ceasar salad
Caesar salad is a timeless dish originating from Mexican cuisine, specifically Tijuana in the 1920s, where Chef Caesar Cardini crafted its first iteration. Traditionally, it consists of romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, parmesan cheese, and a creamy dressing made with egg yolk, olive oil, anchovies, garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and black pepper. This combination offers a balance of textures and bold, savory flavors. Nutritional benefits include the fiber and essential vitamins like vitamin A and K from romaine lettuce, heart-healthy fats from olive oil, and protein from cheese and anchovies. However, the dressing and croutons often make Caesar salad calorie-dense and high in saturated fats and sodium, especially in restaurant or store-bought versions. For a healthier twist, lighter dressing options or whole-grain croutons can be used. Caesar salad pairs well as a side dish or a standalone meal when topping with lean proteins like grilled chicken or shrimp.
