L'insalata ha una storia interessante. Fu fatta nel 1924 da "Caesar Cardini", uno chef italiano che aveva un ristorante a Tijuana, in Messico. Un fine settimana molto impegnativo, rimase senza molti ingredienti. Usò allora quello che gli era rimasto per creare una nuova insalata. Alle persone piacque così tanto che la chiamarono "insalata Cesare" in suo onore.
Making Caesar salad is easy. You start by tearing lettuce into pieces. Then you add croutons and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top. For the dressing, you mix lemon juice, olive oil, a bit of egg, Worcestershire sauce, crushed garlic, and black pepper. Put this on the lettuce, add the croutons and cheese, and mix everything together.
Fare l'insalata Caesar è facile. Si inizia strappando la lattuga a pezzi. Poi si aggiungono i crostini e si spolvera un po' di formaggio Parmigiano sopra. Per il condimento, si mescolano succo di limone, olio d'oliva, un po' di uovo, salsa Worcestershire, aglio schiacciato e pepe nero. Si versa questo sulla lattuga, si aggiungono i crostini e il formaggio, e si mescola tutto insieme.
