Question 1

🥗Is Caesar salad good for you?

Accepted Answer

Regarding the high fat and cholesterol count from the dressing, the Parmesan cheese, and the meat in the Caesar salad you can’t consider it healthy.  
However, you can make it healthier by choosing lean meat, salmon or shrimps, low-calorie dressing made of yogurt instead of egg yolks and mayonnaise, and minimize the amount (or leave out completely) of the Parmesan cheese.

Question 2

🥗Why is it called Caesar salad?

Accepted Answer

Even though many believe Caesar salad is named after the Roman general Julius Caesar as his favorite dish, Caesar salad is named after its inventor, Cesare (Caesar) Cardini. He made the Caesar salad on the 4th of July in 1924, in Tijuana, Mexico.

Question 3

🥗What's Caesar salad made of?

Accepted Answer

Caesar salad is made of Romaine lettuce, bread croutons, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar salad dressing. The dressing itself is made of mashed anchovies (or anchovy paste), egg yolks, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, vegetable oil, olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic, black pepper, salt, and Parmesan cheese.

Question 4

🥗Is Caesar salad good for losing weight?

Accepted Answer

Because some of the ingredients of the Caesar salad can have high fat and cholesterol levels, it isn’t a good option for losing weight. 
However, some small swaps regarding the dressing and the cheese can make the salad healthier.
Choose a low-calorie dressing made of yogurt instead of egg yolks and mayonnaise. Swap the fried or crispy meat for lean, grilled meat or salmon, and completely omit the Parmesan cheese and croutons.

Question 5

🥗Why is Caesar salad so popular?

Accepted Answer

It is mostly because of the simple and tasty ingredients. The crunchiness of the Romaine lettuce and the croutons, the saltiness and the umami kick of the anchovies, the creaminess of the dressing, and its garlicky twist and the strong taste of the Parmesan.
The Caesar salad is also popular because of its versatility since it can be made with chicken, salmon, shrimps, as well as vegetarian and vegan alternatives.

Question 6

🥗What was in the original Caesar salad?

Accepted Answer

In the original Caesar salad that Cesare (Caesar) Cardini made there were bread croutons, garlic, Romaine lettuce leaves, olive oil, salt, and black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and raw egg yolks.
According to his daughter Rosa Cardini, her father’s salad didn’t have anchovies – the slight anchovy flavor was from the Worcestershire sauce.
