www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_salad

The salad was created on July 4, 1924, by Caesar Cardini at Caesar's in Tijuana, Mexico, when the kitchen was overwhelmed and short on ingredients. It was originally prepared tableside, and it is still prepared tableside at the original venue.

TIL this salad has nothing to do with Caesar of Rome

All salads lead to Rome, or those effn Greeks.

www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salad#History

The Romans and ancient Greeks ate mixed greens with dressing, a type of mixed salad. Salads, including layered and dressed salads, have been popular in Europe since the Greek and Roman imperial expansions.
