A basic Caesar salad is a salad of romaine lettuce and
croutons dressed with parmesan cheese, anchovies, lemon juice, olive oil, egg, Worcestershire
sauce and black pepper. It may be prepared tableside with the emulsion of the
dressing being prepared first and then the lettuce and crotons tossed in. Whole
anchovies and shaved parmesan traditionally garnish this plate.
The origin of the name Ceasar salad might make people think
it originated with the great Julius Ceasar, but in fact it is attributed generally
to restaurateur Caesar Cardini, an Italian immigrant who operated restaurants
in Mexico and the United States
One of the stories says he came up with the salad after a
very busy holiday rush and didn't have much food left in the kitchen and
whipped it up out of what he could find.
Some of the other stories claiming credit for the creation
of the Caesar:
- A number of Mr. Cardini's staff have also claimed to have invented the dish
- Paul Maggiora, a partner of the Cardini's, claimed to have
tossed the first Caesar's salad in 1927 for American airmen from
- Caesar's brother Alex had claimed to have developed the salad (he too allegedly called it "aviator's salad").
- Livio Santini claimed he made the salad from a recipe of his mother, in the kitchen of Caesar's restaurant when he was 18 years old, in 1925, and that Caesar took the recipe from him.
