What is Caesar Salad?
A Caesar salad is a classic dish made with crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and Parmesan cheese, all tossed in a creamy, tangy dressing.
The dressing typically combines garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, and sometimes anchovies for a bold, savory flavor. Created in 1924 by Caesar Cardini in Tijuana, Mexico, the salad is commonly served as a side dish or topped with grilled protein for a more filling meal.
