Caesar Salad – One of the most well known and loved salads in the world!
The Caesar Salad was invented in 1924, by brothers, Cardini and Alex Caesar; Italian immigrants to the U.S. Both lay claim to the salad, one brother using whole romaine lettuce leaves to scoop the dressing and the other adding anchovies. Regardless, in 1953, it was proclaimed to be the greatest recipe to originate from America in 50 years. Everyone has their favorite recipe. Here is ours. Very low carb, enjoy!
