The Caesar salad is not named after Julius Caesar. It is named for its creator, Caesar Cardini, who first prepared the salad in his Caesar's Palace Restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico.

The salad's creation is attributed to restaurateur Caesar Cardini, not Julius Caesar. Caesar Cardini was an Italian born chef who immigrated to the United States after World War I.

As it grew in popularity, people gradually began referring to it as "Caesar's salad", as it came from Caesar's restaurant.
