Caesar salad is a classic dish originating from Mexican-American cuisine, created by Italian restaurateur Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. This popular salad typically consists of crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and a tangy dressing made from ingredients like olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, egg yolk, Parmesan cheese, and Worcestershire sauce. Variations often include grilled chicken, anchovies, or bacon for added protein and flavor. Caesar salad can be a nutritious choice due to the fiber from lettuce and healthy fats from olive oil. However, it may also be high in calories, sodium, and saturated fats depending on the portion size and quantity of dressing, cheese, or additional toppings. Opting for lighter dressings or smaller portions can make it a more balanced choice for health-conscious diners.
