The Caesar salad was invented in Tijuana, Mexico in 1924 by restaurateur Caesar Cardini. The story goes that Cardini was running low on ingredients on a busy Fourth of July weekend and improvised a salad using romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, croutons, and a dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and eggs. The salad was a hit with his customers, and it soon became a popular dish at his restaurant. Over the years, the Caesar salad has evolved and changed, but the basic ingredients remain the same. This keto Caesar salad recipe is a modern take on the classic dish, using keto-friendly ingredients to create a delicious and satisfying meal.
