Caesar salad is a classic dish originating from Italian-American cuisine, attributed to restaurateur Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. It typically features romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and a creamy dressing made from egg yolks, olive oil, anchovies, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Often garnished with shaved Parmesan and served with optional additions like grilled chicken or shrimp, it delivers a satisfying balance of textures and flavors. From a nutritional perspective, Caesar salad offers vitamin A, vitamin K, and dietary fiber from romaine lettuce. However, the rich dressing and cheese contribute significant fat and sodium. While adding protein like chicken can boost its nutritional value, moderating portion sizes of dressing and croutons can help reduce calorie intake. Overall, it’s a delicious choice when customized for healthier options!
