Chopped Caesar Salad is a beloved dish with origins in Italian-American cuisine, credited to chef Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. This hearty salad includes crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and shaved Parmesan, all tossed in a creamy Caesar dressing made with ingredients like olive oil, egg, lemon juice, anchovies, garlic, and Dijon mustard. Some variations may feature grilled chicken, adding protein to make it a complete meal. While the romaine provides fiber and essential vitamins like A and K, the salad’s healthfulness can vary depending on portion sizes and dressing quantity. Caesar dressing, while flavorful, is often rich in fats and calories. For a lighter version, try reducing the dressing or using yogurt-based alternatives. The salad’s balance of fresh greens and savory elements makes it both satisfying and customizable for a range of dietary preferences.
