Classic Caesar Salad

Cultural Context

The Caesar Salad originated in Tijuana, Mexico, in the 1920s, attributed to Italian immigrant Caesar Cardini. It quickly became a staple in American cuisine, celebrated for its rich flavors and creamy dressing. Today, variations abound globally, with many adding grilled chicken or shrimp, but the classic version remains a beloved favorite.
