Did you know that the famous Caesar Salad takes less than 10 minutes to prepare?
With the rising food prices, it seems more economical to prepare dishes such as this famous appetizer, which can also be a fulfilling snack.
A quick history: the Caesar salad was credited to Italian-born Mexican Caesar Cardini. There are several theories as to how the salad was invented. Some historians, citing Cardini’s daughter as source, say the salad was invented when kitchen supplies were depleted in 1924. Another group recounts that the salad was made for aviators that were comrades of Cardini’s brother. Thus it is sometimes called the “Aviator’s Salad.”
