edit About Caesar Salad

A popular salad made from romaine lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese coated in a creamy anchovy dressing. The dish is commonly attributed to Caesar Cardini, an Italian-born Mexican chef, though stories vary. Some people leave out the anchovies, though many people agree that a Caesar salad isn't a Caesar salad without them. Some even top the salad with whole anchovy fillets.
