What is Caesar salad dressing?

The story behind the history and origin of the Caeser salad dressing is rather fascinating.

There are different views on where it originated from and whom it honors. However, most historians believe that on the 4th of July weekend in 1924 Caesar Cardini was low on food and just tossed together what he had left in his kitchen and served his guests. The original salad included romaine, croutons and boiled eggs while the dressing had garlic, Parmesan cheese, garlic, olive oil, and Worcestershire sauce. The salad was served on a flat dinner plate and could be eaten with the fingers. It’s amazing what one’s mind can create when you have minimal resources to use. 🙂

Caesar salad-

I have tried many different salads at different restaurants and store bought and must say most were disgusting, truly believe Mr. Caesar would be disappointed in the results, lol. One day I had my sister over who just loves salads and she was in the mood for a Caesar salad, and this is where this recipe was born. I now am a true believer that homemade dressing is the best kind. Its extremely easy to make and the results are fantastic. Try for yourself.. 🙂
