Includes original caesar dressing, Cardini's caesar croutons, grated parmesan cheese. Just add romaine lettuce. Now you can continue the Cardini tradition at home with Cardini's Caesar Salad Kit. It was at Caesar's Place in Tijuana, Mexico, on July 4, 1924, that Caesar Cardini created the legendary Caesar salad. As with most famous inventions, the first Caesar Salad was created somewhat by accident. As legend has it, that particular Fourth of July, Hollywood celebrities descended on Caesar's in unprecedented numbers. When Caesar Cardini realized that his supply of fresh vegetables would not serve his large crowd, he knew he had to improvise. With the staples available in every good Italian kitchen - garlic, parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon, eggs and croutons - he created a culinary masterpiece - the Original Caesar Salad. On a service cart in the middle of the dining room, Cardini combined the ingredients with such drama and flourish that it left his spectators in awe. The Caesar Salad has continued to grow in popularity since that day. Now you can make the Original Caesar Salad in your own home with the same ingredients used by its creator - Caesar Cardini. All you need is fresh, crisp romaine lettuce; simply combine it with the special ingredients in this package. Then toss with a flourish to recreate that day back in 1924 when it all began. Made in USA.
