Caesar Salad

Filed in Chicken Salad Recipes, General Information, Mexican Salads, Salad Recipes on

The Caesar salad is one of the most recognizable salads in restaurants. Often served with chicken or steamed shrimp, the Caesar salad is great! Originated in Tijuana, Mexico by Caesar Cardini in the 1920s developed this salad because he actually running out of food in his restaurant. Cardini used what he had left in his kitchen – romaine, garlic, croutons, and Parmesan cheese, boiled eggs, olive oil and Worcestershire sauce. He quickly served this salad as finger food to his customers and the salad became an instant hit worldwide. His brother, Alex, decided to add anchovies to the recipe, much to Caesar’s dismay. Whether you like anchovies or not, Saladseekers has found a light Caesar salad that is still tasty and will be a great satisfying salad.
