~Romaine lettuce
~Croutons
~Parmesan cheese
~Anchovies (optional)
~Raw egg (optional and not recommended)
~Caesar dressing
~Toss all together and serve

I love it, but, it is very fattening (namely the dressing) and I opt by buying fat-free caesar dressing (which just don't taste the same). I like to throw some roasted chicken in, too.

I love Caesar salad!

Caesar salad is a traditional salad often prepared tableside. It is sometimes termed the "king" of salads.

History

Hotel Caesars in Tijuana where Caesar salad was inventedCaesar salad was invented in 1924 by Caesar Cardini. Cardini was an Italian restaurateur and chef in Tijuana, Mexico. He was living in San Diego but working in Tijuana to avoid the restrictions of Prohibition. There are several stories about the specifics of the salad's creation. The most common is that it resulted from a Fourth of July rush depleting the kitchen's supplies, and Cardini made do with what he had, adding the dramatic flair of a table-side tossing. Another is that it was created for a group of Hollywood stars after a long weekend party.

Most stories say that Cardini had to whip something up from what he had left in his kitchen, and the Caesar salad was the result. The Hotel César still exists in downtown Tijuana, where the original dish is still served.

Recipes
A Caesar salad is generally made from the following ingredients:

romaine lettuce
croutons
lemon juice
olive oil
Parmesan cheese
raw, coddled or hard-boiled egg yolks
fresh-ground black pepper
Worcestershire sauce
The original Caesar salad recipe did not contain anchovies; the slight anchovy flavor came from Worcestershire sauce. Cardini was actually opposed to using anchovies in his salad. Most modern recipes now include anchovies as chopped fillets or in paste form.

In the book From Julia Child's Kitchen, Julia Child describes how she ate a Caesar's salad at Cardini's restaurant as a child in 1924, and many years later she sought out Cardini's daughter, Rosa Cardini, in order to discover the original recipe. Rosa Cardini's recipe differs from those that appear in the links below. In particular, the lettuce is served whole on the plate. It is meant to be lifted by the stem and eaten with the fingers. It calls for coddled eggs but no anchovies.

Some recipes include one or more of mustard, avocado, tomato, bacon bits, garlic cloves, or anchovies. Many restaurants offer a more substantial salad by topping a Caesar salad with grilled chicken, grilled salmon or shrimp. The salad today is served at many Italian and some Mexican restaurants, with certain Mexican restaurants improvising on occasional items such as substituting tortilla strips for croutons and Cotija cheese for the Parmesan.

The Cardini family licensed the original recipe early on, and bottled Cardini Caesar salad dressing is still available, sans anchovies. Many other bottled versions are sold now, as well, including Morgan's and Newman's Own.


Raw egg and salmonella
Many people are concerned about the safety of Caesar salads due to the potential risk of infection by salmonella bacteria occasionally found in raw eggs. This is a concern with many similar dressings like mayonnaise, though in most cases, the pH level is thought to be acidic enough to kill the bacteria. Nevertheless, later versions of the recipe call for briefly-cooked coddled eggs or pasteurized eggs. Even a switch to chopped, hard-boiled eggs has not prevented sporadic outbreaks of salmonella from restaurant-made Caesar salads. Today, many recipes omit the egg and produce a Caesar vinaigrette.


Caesar salad humor
Riffing on the popular idea that Caesar salad was invented by or for Julius Caesar, the Canadian comedy duo of Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster (both now deceased) did at least two versions of a sketch in which Caesar's chef (played by Shuster) prepares the ingredients of a modern Caesar salad, and says, "You shall name this salad, Caesar". After a moment of pondering, Caesar (played by Wayne) replies (in one version of the sketch), "I name it... coleslaw." Brutus offers his knife to the cook when the cook disparages the new name.
Another joke, an atrocious pun, is set up by bandits invading Julius Caesar's birthday party seeking lettuce. Caesar shows them a truly beautiful salad. The bandit chief replies, "We come to seize your salad, not to praise it!"
In the video game Civilization IV, Julius Caesar greets the player with the statement "Welcome to Rome, (player name). Care for some salad? I made it myself."
In an episode of the television series Bewitched, Esmeralda (played by Alice Ghostley) attempts to use magic to make a Caesar salad and accidentally conjures Julius Caesar.
In the movie Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, the eponymous characters' history teacher claims that the only thing they've learned in his class is that "Caesar... was a salad dressing dude."
