The Rise of the Romaine Empire

Not feeling the democracy celebratory vibes this holiday weekend? You can celebrate another birthday. The Caesar Salad is turning 100. “Not many classic dishes can claim a specific birthday. But the Caesar salad was created for the very first time on July 4, 1924, in Tijuana, Mexico.” (Enjoy it until the SCOTUS majority outlaws it.)

+ I know this has been a tough week of news so I’ll share this world-changing Caesar tip. When you make your Caesar salad this weekend, use half Caesar Dressing and half of your favorite vinaigrette-esque dressing. Your friends and family will think you’re a genius. (Also works for a pasta salad.) Yes, there are better Caesar dressings you can create from scratch, but there’s no time for that with a democracy to save.
