Ensalada César, or Caesar Salad, is a classic dish that originated in the 1920s in Tijuana, Mexico, by Italian-American restaurateur Caesar Cardini. This iconic salad typically consists of crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and a creamy dressing made with egg yolks, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, anchovies, garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and black pepper. It is often topped with shaved Parmesan and grilled chicken for added protein. The salad offers healthy components, such as vitamins and minerals from romaine lettuce and heart-healthy fats from olive oil. However, the dressing, while flavorful, can be high in calories, sodium, and cholesterol due to the inclusion of cheese, egg yolks, and anchovies. Opting for lighter dressing versions or moderating portion sizes may help balance its nutritional profile. Ensalada César is beloved for its bold flavors and is a versatile addition to many cuisines worldwide.
