Caesar salad is a classic dish rooted in Italian-American cuisine, believed to have been created in Mexico by Italian immigrant Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. This iconic salad typically features crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, shaved Parmesan cheese, and a creamy dressing made with egg yolk, olive oil, anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Variations often include grilled chicken or shrimp for added protein. Caesar salad offers beneficial nutrients such as vitamins A and K from the romaine lettuce, healthy fats from olive oil, and protein from optional additions like chicken. However, its signature dressing can be high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium, especially in store-bought versions. Opting for homemade dressing or lighter ingredients can enhance its nutritional profile, making it a delicious yet balanced choice for meals. Perfect as a starter or main dish, it remains a timeless favorite.
