CAESAR SALAD
The Caesar salad, a tossed assemblage of lettuce, garlic-flavored croutons, and Parmesan cheese with a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce, has a story.
Caesar Cardini emigrated to the United States from Italy after World War II. He lived in San Diego and operated a restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico to circumvent Prohibition.
In 1924, on a busy Fourth of July evening in his restaurant, Cardini famously improvised the salad recipe. He was running low on food and used what was left over in the kitchen to put together a salad for his guests.
The original salad was prepared at tableside and the anchovy was not part of it.
