Scottish Caesar Salad Food and Drink Ideas
Snacks Recipe
Every recipe website probably has this recipe. Caesar salad was the creation of an Italian, Caesar Cardini, who at the time was a restaurateur in Tijuana, Mexico. According to records, supplies in the Cardini establishment ran short one holiday weekend in 1924 so the chef experimented and that evening the Caesar's Salad was born.

As with all recipes which involve cooking and baking a sensible approach must be taken especially when dealing with warm or hot (temperature) ingredients. If you are unable to take due care, please do not attempt to make any of these recipes. All recipes are tried at your own risk.
