Making the classic caesar salad from scratch had been on my top to-do list for so long. Glad that I&#8217;ve finally tried it and it tasted absolutely delish.<\/p>\n<p>Last Wednesday, after work I went for an Italian\/French grocery shopping spree and came home with baguettes, anchovies fillets packed in jars, gnocchi, parmesan cheese and artisanal pasta. As soon as I reached home, I decided it&#8217;s going to be an Italian dinner. I\u00a0made Caesar salad and Sun dried tomato pesto fettuccini.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you know???<\/strong>\u00a0Caesar salad was invented\u00a0by Caesar Cardini, an Italian-American restaurateur in 1924 in Tijuana, Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s said that the original recipe did not\u00a0have anchovies added to it,\u00a0Worcestershire sauce was added which imparted the anchovy flavor. In this recipe, anchovy fillets that are cured and preserved in oil are added.\u00a0Another ingredient that&#8217;s added in Caesar salad is raw egg. Some people substitute mayonnaise for raw eggs. The baked croutons gives an amazing crunch to this salad. Overall, I find this recipe to be a winner.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/344835\/classic-caesar-salad?socsrc=soc_fb_2015_11_24_FD_SC_NC_J_RC_SEO\" target=\"_blank\"
