Caesar Salad
On this page you will find the original recipe for Caesar Salad. In it there is no smoked chicken, no bacon, no anchovies and no avocado, just to name a few ingredients that are often added extra. I’m not a puritan, so as far as I’m concerned you smush up the salad however you like. But then it might become a nice salad, but not a Caesar Salad. Oh yes, and it’s Caesar, not Ceasar.Caesar salad was created by accident in 1924 by Caesar Cardini who owned a restaurant in Tijuana. One evening, late guests ordered another salad, but he only had eight ingredients left. At the table, he whisked the dressing, toasted that with the croutons through the lettuce and garnished the dish with egg and Parmesan cheese. ‘Caesar’s Salad’ quickly became wildly popular among the flood of American tourists who crossed the border into Mexico to avoid the United States’ prohibition.
