Caesar Salad is a classic dish originating from Italian-American cuisine, believed to have been created by chef Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. The salad typically features a base of crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and shaved Parmesan cheese, all tossed with a creamy dressing made of egg yolks, olive oil, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Often served with optional grilled chicken for added protein, it’s both flavorful and satisfying. Nutritionally, Caesar Salad offers some health benefits, including fiber from the lettuce and healthy fats from olive oil. However, its high-calorie dressing, cheese, and croutons may contribute to a higher fat and sodium content, making moderation key. A lighter version can be made by reducing cheese and using a lower-fat dressing alternative. A versatile favorite, Caesar Salad remains a staple at both casual and upscale dining tables worldwide.
