The Caesar salad is a classic dish originating from Italian-American cuisine, traditionally crafted with a base of crunchy romaine lettuce. A small Caesar salad typically includes crisp lettuce leaves, creamy Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and crunchy garlic croutons. The dressing is often made with egg yolks, anchovies, lemon juice, olive oil, and spices, which provide a rich flavor profile. While the salad is known for its bold taste and satisfying texture, nutritional aspects vary. It offers vitamins and minerals from the romaine lettuce and protein from cheese and anchovies. However, the calorie content is often elevated due to the dressing and croutons, which are higher in fats and carbs. As a smaller portion, it serves as a lighter option but still contains a notable amount of sodium and fat from the dressing. It's a balanced choice when consumed in moderation, particularly as a side dish.
