11966 Caesar Salad from ‘scratch’ 12 minutes 12 minutes Salad for 4 Wed May 14 17:36:19 -0700 2008 Wed May 14 17:36:19 -0700 2008 Medium American User http://www.chow.com/recipes/11966 Thu, 15 May 2008 00:36:19 GMT Few people realize that the Caesar salad was invented in California in the late 1960’s. The story goes that a restaurant owner/surfer was short of food to feed his friends one evening after a day at the beach, so they challenged him to take EVERYTHING out of his fridge and make something good. In my opinion, he succeded.

This is a classic Caesar Salad recipe, and it is EXACTLY as I have made it ‘tableside’ over 5,000 times in restaurants I have worked at.

I’ll do my best to be clear about the recipe here, but if you have any questions, visit my cooking website, www.tixxie.com and hopefully I can help you there. Enjoy!
