National Caesar Salad Day is celebrated every July 4th and pays homage to the classic and universally loved Caesar salad. The salad, consisting of romaine lettuce, croutons, parmesan, and a zesty dressing, holds a unique origin story. Created by Italian immigrant Caesar Cardini in 1924 at his restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico, the salad became an instant hit, eventually spreading across the United States and Europe. Today, variations of the Caesar salad exist, with ingredients like anchovies, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard adding depth to its flavour. On this day, people are encouraged to enjoy a traditional Caesar salad, create their own versions, and share fun facts about the dish, celebrating its rich history and global popularity.
