Cesar Salad is a classic dish with roots in Italian-Mexican cuisine, originally created by Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. Typically prepared with crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and a creamy dressing made from olive oil, egg yolks, anchovies, garlic, parmesan cheese, and lemon juice, the salad offers a balanced blend of textures and flavors. While its fresh greens provide fiber, vitamins A and K, and antioxidants, the dressing and croutons can be calorie-dense due to fats and refined carbohydrates. Traditional recipes may also include added salt, which some individuals might choose to moderate. Variations, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu as toppings, can boost protein content, making it a more filling option. Choosing lighter dressings or incorporating whole-grain croutons can elevate its nutritional profile, appealing to health-conscious diners while preserving its signature, savory taste.
