About Large caesar salad
The Large Caesar Salad is a classic dish rooted in Italian-American cuisine, originating from Chef Caesar Cardini in the 1920s. This hearty salad features crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy garlic croutons, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese tossed in a creamy Caesar dressing made with egg yolk, olive oil, lemon juice, anchovies, and spices. Often served with an optional protein like grilled chicken or shrimp, the salad balances a rich savoriness with fresh, leafy texture. Nutritionally, the romaine provides fiber and key vitamins like A and K, while the Parmesan and dressing offer calcium and healthy fats. However, the creamy dressing and croutons contribute higher calorie and saturated fat content, which may be a consideration for those monitoring their intake. With its bold flavors and satisfying composition, this salad remains a popular choice for a fulfilling meal or appetizer.
