Caesar Salad is a classic dish originating from Mexican cuisine, created by Italian-American restaurateur Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. It's typically made with romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, Parmesan cheese, and a signature creamy dressing composed of egg yolks, lemon juice, olive oil, anchovies, garlic, and Dijon mustard. Optional ingredients like grilled chicken or shrimp can add protein. While it boasts nutrient-rich romaine lettuce, which is high in vitamins A and K, the salad's dressing and added cheese contribute significant fat and sodium content, making portion control crucial for a balanced diet. Variations with reduced-fat dressing or whole-grain croutons can enhance its health appeal. Caesar Salad is both an indulgent treat and an adaptable entry into healthier meal planning, depending on how it's prepared.
