Caesar salad is a classic dish believed to have originated from Italian-American cuisine, crafted by restaurateur Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. Typically composed of crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and shaved Parmesan cheese, this salad is tossed in a creamy, tangy dressing made from ingredients like olive oil, egg yolk, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and anchovies. While this salad provides a source of vitamins A and K from the lettuce and healthy fats from olive oil, its traditional preparation can have high sodium and saturated fats due to the cheese, dressing, and croutons. Health-conscious adaptations often involve lighter dressings, whole-grain croutons, or added lean proteins like grilled chicken or tofu to enhance its nutritional profile. Caesar salad remains a popular choice for its bold flavors, offering a balance between indulgence and nutritious elements when prepared thoughtfully.
