Caesar salad is a classic dish rooted in Italian-American cuisine, originally crafted by Chef Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. Typically served as a light appetizer or side, this salad features crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and grated Parmesan cheese, all tossed in a creamy dressing made from olive oil, egg, anchovies, garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. The fresh greens provide fiber, vitamins A and K, while olive oil offers heart-healthy fats. Parmesan contributes calcium, but its sodium content may be high. Croutons add texture but can increase calories due to enriched flour and oil. The dressing, known for its rich flavor, can be calorie-dense due to its fat content. While Caesar salad delivers nutrients and vibrant flavor, moderation is key for those mindful of sodium, cholesterol, and calorie intake. It’s a delicious balance of indulgence and nutrition.
