Description

The recipe won't take much time. A bit of wheat bread, a piece of Parmesan cheese, and romaine lettuce leaves—that's practically all the ingredients that the creator of the famous Caesar salad, Caesar Cardini, had on hand when unexpected guests arrived at his restaurant. The resourceful Italian had no choice but to mix it all together, dressing it with a sauce he made himself. And so, the classic Caesar salad with croutons was born. Today, there are hundreds of "variations" of this salad. If desired, you can add boiled, fried, or baked chicken, ham, seafood, mushrooms, but all this is acceptable only if you already know the original. Serve at the table.
