Although Californians often claim this salad as their own, the Caesar salad was the 1924 invention of a Tijuana, Mexico, restaurateur, Caesar Cardini. Flamboyantly tossed at tableside and comprising such (then) unheard of things as coddled eggs and the exotic, almost counter-culture romaine lettuce, Cardini's salad went on to rival history's only other Caesar in the legend it inspired. —Marcy Goldman-Posluns, Chicago TribuneThis recipe is by Caesar Cardini and was originally published in the Chicago Tribune.
