Caesar Salad
Caesar salad is romaine tossed in a garlicky dressing built from egg yolk, parmesan, and anchovy or Worcestershire sauce, topped with croutons and more cheese.
Where it comes from
The salad is credited to restaurateur Caesar Cardini in Tijuana in the 1920s, though the exact circumstances, including whether it was born from a kitchen short on ingredients, are disputed and vary by account.
What cooks argue about
The technical fork is raw versus coddled egg yolk: raw gives the classic creamy, glossy dressing but raises food safety concerns, so many versions now coddle the egg briefly or skip it.
