Caesar salad with cheese

4 servings

30 minutes

Caesar salad with cheese is the embodiment of elegance in American cuisine. Its history dates back to 1924 when Italian chef Caesar Cardini created a light yet rich dish in his restaurant. Crispy garlic croutons soaked in fragrant oil, juicy lettuce leaves, tangy lemon juice, and delicate notes of hard cheese create a delightful flavor combination. The final touch is a poached egg that adds creaminess and richness. This salad is not only sophisticated but also versatile: it can be served as a standalone dish or as a side to meat. Perfect for a light lunch or festive dinner, it delights with its freshness and balanced taste.
