There are a couple of suggested theories as to the origin of this salad...see the

Related Links below for the information.

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. Despite having a home in San Diego, the Cardini family operated a restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico, primarily because of prohibition. As it grew in popularity, people gradually began referring to it as "Caesar's salad", as it came from Caesar's restaurant.

Is a Caesar salad still a Caesar salad without the Caesar dressing?

The Caesar salad typically has lettuce, crunchy croutons and a dressing which includes lemon juice, olive oil and black pepper. Without these ingredients it cannot properly be called a Caesar salad. On the other hand, you could ask "Can I have a Caesar salad without the dressing or the other ingredients?". By saying that you have indeed called it a Caesar salad. Whether the end result remains a Caesar salad then becomes a question of semantics more than anything else. well i personally, strongly believe that the mere caesar salad could possibly still be the name it was given to be without the dressing.
