A Caesar salad is a salad of romaine lettuce and croutons (pieces of toasted bread) with lemon juice, olive oil, egg, Worcestershire sauce, anchovies, garlic, Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. The original Caesar salad does not contain chicken, although it is usually added to it.

The inventor of this salad was the chef of the Cardini restaurant, Remigio Murgia, although the dish was named Caesar salad in honor of the owner and also chef César Cardini. This salad is very popular and has become internationalized, being possible to find it in various restaurants around the world.

In its original form, this salad was prepared fresh in front of the diner and served at the side of the table.
