What kind of dish is this?

This is a Mexican salad that mixes romaine lettuce with olive oil, eggs and Worcestershire sauce etc.

Name

Caesar=Caesar’s restaurant
※The owner is Caesar Cardini, who has emigrated from Italy.

History

In the 1920s, Tijuana in Mexico was prospering because of the American Prohibition Law.
Many people were visiting Tijuana, a place where they could drink alcohol, from the state of California next to Tijuana.
On July 4, 1924, the Caesar’s Restaurant in Tijuana was full.
There was a shortage of food, but in order not to disappoint the customer, he made a salad in front of the customer using limited food and provided it.
The salad made at this time is the original Caesar salad.

Anchovy

In 1926, Caesar’s younger brother Alex began to work together, and he added anchovies to Caesar’s salad.
This salad has become popular with many people. In time, it was called “Caesar Salad” and became known around the world under this name.

Thoughts

The restaurant is still open and the recipe is open to visitors.
But, the recipes released by the visitors differed from person to person.
This is probably because the tastes and weighing methods of ingredients differ from country to country, and they are adjusted to the tastes they prefer.
This time I compared recipes published by various people.
And, I adjusted them and made this salad. It’s similar to the Caesar salad I’ve eaten, but it’s a different one.
※I didn’t use anchovies.

Information

★I’ve written “laurel leaves” in some recipes. I think the name is different in different countries. In some countries it means “bay leaves”.
