Caesar Salad is a salad originating in Tijuana, Mexico in the mid-1920's. It's not a salad named after Julius Caesar, but after the Italian restauranteur who invented it ... Caesar Cardini! Caesar was rumored to be out of ingredients after a big rush and scrambled to come up with something interesting, mixing the now famous ingredients together ... table side! Necessity is the mother of invention and ... what an invention it was! Caesar Salads are almost always served with croutons. While obviously the recipe can be served without them and still be quite delicious ... I've opted to keep them. The salad can really use the contrasting tastes and textures. Plus ... they just look nice!
