Introduction
Caesar salad has become a classic. It originated in Mexico, taking its name from the chef Caesar Cardini, who invented it in his restaurant in Tijuana. Pregnant women and young children are advised to avoid eating raw egg, so we suggest they use a ready prepared Caesar dressing in place of our fresh recipe. White anchovies, often sold loose on deli counters are much less salty than the small dark tinned variety – their taste is more akin to pickled herring.
