American Ceasar Salad

Ceasar Salad is a dish of American cuisine. The salad is named after its creator, the Italian-born American chef Ceasar Cardini, and not the Roman commander Julius Ceasar. The salad was invented on July 4, 1924 from the remaining ingredients in the kitchen of a restaurant in Tijuana.

The original composition of the salad does not include anchovies, mayonnaise and any meat ingredients. Ceasar salad with chicken and other variations have been refined in modern times for restaurants.

The original fish flavor is not created by anchovies, but by Worcestershire sauce based on anchovies. Romano lettuce leaves remain whole according to the chef’s idea.

How to cook salad?

For the salad, we will cook crispy croutons in the oven. Cut the bread into small cubes, roll it in garlic oil, add salt and pepper and a little grated Parmesan cheese.

Salad dressing consists of olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Parmesan cheese and egg yolks.

Lettuce leaves are mixed with salad dressing, crispy croutons and grated Parmesan cheese.
