Crispy Chickpea Caesar Salad

Cultural Context

The Caesar salad originated in Tijuana, Mexico, in the 1920s, created by Italian immigrant Caesar Cardini. Traditionally made with romaine, croutons, and a rich dressing, it has evolved into numerous variations. This crispy chickpea version offers a plant-based twist, making it accessible to a wider audience while retaining the classic flavors. Today, it’s a popular choice for health-conscious diners and those seeking vegetarian options.
