Cookbook: Caesar salad   Media: Caesar salad

A Caesar salad (also spelled Cesar and Cesare) is a green salad of romaine lettuce and croutons dressed with lemon juice (or lime juice), olive oil, egg, Worcestershire sauce, anchovies, garlic, Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper.

In its original form, this salad was prepared and served tableside.

Common ingredients

Common ingredients in many recipes:

• romaine or cos lettuce
• olive oil
• crushed garlic
• salt
• Dijon mustard
• black pepper
• lemon juice
• Worcestershire sauce
• anchovies
• raw or coddled eggs
• grated Parmesan cheese
• croutons

Variations include varying the leaf, adding meat such as grilled chicken or bacon, or omitting ingredients such as anchovies and eggs.

Vegan versions may substitute capers for anchovies, and replace eggs with tahini.

Health concerns

There is inherent risk of infection by salmonella bacteria occasionally found in raw egg from cracked or improperly handled eggshells where the protective cuticle is damaged. Updated recipes recommend eggs that are briefly heated to 160 degrees or pasteurized eggs. Some variations of the dressing may use other substitutions for egg.
