Classic Homemade Caesar Salad Recipe
There’s nothing like a delicious easy to make fresh Caesar salad recipe that is served with homemade dressing and croutons!
Crazy enough Caesar salad originated in Tijuana, Mexico by an Italian named Caesar Cardini. Cardini moved to California in the early 20th century and often times during prohibition he, like many others, would head to Tijuana for a drink.
He quickly opened a restaurant and a few years later created the Caesar Salad. Who got that story right?
