Caesar Salad is a classic dish with roots in Italian-American cuisine, traditionally credited to restaurateur Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. This salad features crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and a creamy dressing made from egg yolk, olive oil, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and anchovies. Often topped with grated Parmesan and optional grilled chicken or shrimp, it delivers a balance of texture and flavor. Nutritionally, romaine lettuce is rich in vitamins A and K, while anchovies provide heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. However, the dressing and croutons can be high in sodium and fats, making moderation key. Opting for lighter dressings or homemade versions allows for better control of ingredients. Caesar Salad can be a wholesome choice with mindful preparation, offering leafy greens and protein for a filling, flavorful meal.
