Caesar Salad is a classic dish rooted in Italian-American cuisine, originally crafted in the 1920s by restaurateur Caesar Cardini. Typically, it features crisp romaine lettuce, creamy Caesar dressing made from ingredients like anchovies, egg yolk, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Parmesan cheese, along with crunchy croutons for texture. Often topped with additional Parmesan shavings or grilled chicken, it is recognized for its savory and umami flavor profile. While nutrient-rich romaine lettuce provides vitamins A and K, along with fiber, the dressing and croutons can be high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium, depending on preparation. Choosing lighter or homemade variations and moderating portions can make it a more balanced option. Additions like lean protein enhance its nutritional value, making it a versatile dish enjoyed for its rich taste and simplicity worldwide.
