Brutus Salad

Cultural Context

The Brutus Salad, commonly known as Caesar Salad, is a staple in American cuisine, often served as a side dish in restaurants and homes alike. Its origins are attributed to the early 20th century in Tijuana, Mexico, where it was created by Italian immigrant Caesar Cardini. The salad has since evolved and is now a popular choice across the United States, often enjoyed for its crisp textures and rich flavors.
