At first my Caesar salad was very good but not at the level it is now. Over the years, I made it more and more interesting. With select ingredients like horseradish and dijonnaise, this salad has amazing flavor. Sometimes I also use my Herb Garlic Parmesan Croutons recipe just to make it more “garlicky”.
One ingredient that you won’t find in this recipe is anchovies. I personally don’t like the taste – too salty – therefore these little guys are not a part of the equation in the making of my salad. As I always say, my recipes are a guideline so if you enjoy them by all means, please add some… after all it’s your salad.
This recipe came out during Prohibition with Caesar Cardini, an Italian immigrant restaurateur who owned a couple of restaurants in two countries, the United States and Mexico. Apparently on the 4th of July when numerous Americans decided to cross the border to escape prohibition regulations and enjoy themselves in Tijuana, many went to Cardini’s restaurant, draining the food supplies. Caesar made what he had left on hand, tossing salad at the table and that is when this famous dish was created!
A Caesar Salad is a great choice to pair with most proteins or to become a meal all on its own. My version has some zip, enough to make it stand apart from others. I’m not sure if we should thank the Prohibition era for this but this Mexican classic has been a favorite for decades and will be for many more…
