About Original ceasar salad

The Original Caesar Salad is a classic dish rooted in Mexican-Italian culinary fusion, first created by restaurateur Caesar Cardini in Tijuana, Mexico in the 1920s. This iconic salad features crisp romaine lettuce, garlic-infused croutons, and a creamy dressing made from egg yolks, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and anchovies. Its bold, savory flavor is complemented by the crunch of the greens and croutons. While the salad provides essential vitamins A and K from the romaine lettuce, its dressing is calorie-dense due to the oil, cheese, and egg yolks. Anchovies contribute heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, while lemon juice offers a boost of vitamin C. However, the salad can be high in sodium and fat, depending on preparation. Ideal as a starter or light meal, the Caesar Salad remains a beloved staple with a balance of fresh ingredients and indulgent flavors.
