Caesar Salad is a classic dish originating from Italian-American cuisine, credited to chef Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. This staple salad typically consists of crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and shaved Parmesan cheese, all tossed with a creamy Caesar dressing made from ingredients like olive oil, egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and anchovies. Optional add-ons include grilled chicken, bacon, or seafood for added protein. Nutritious aspects of Caesar Salad include its high content of vitamins A and K from romaine, as well as healthy fats from olive oil. However, it can be calorie-dense due to the dressing, cheese, and croutons, which are often high in sodium and saturated fat. For a lighter version, opt for less dressing or baked croutons. Caesar Salad remains a flavorful option for those seeking a balance between indulgence and nutrition.
