The History of Caesar Salad
When you hear the name “Caesar salad,” you might think about Julius Caesar from ancient Rome. But the truth is very different! The Caesar salad was invented by an Italian-American man named Caesar Cardini. He created it in 1924, not in Italy, but in Tijuana, Mexico.
Caesar Cardini owned a restaurant, and on the Fourth of July in 1924, he had only a few ingredients in his kitchen. He used what he had to make a simple salad. The salad became very popular, and people loved it so much that it became a well-known dish all over the world.
So, even though the name sounds like it’s from ancient Rome, the Caesar salad actually comes from a chef in Mexico!
