The other day on my husband's birthday we went to eat a Western meal, ordered a Benedict egg with shrimp that I have been thinking about for a long time, a fried chicken vegetable set, and was hesitating whether to order another vegetable salad, a look at the price is more than 28 yuan. Husband said that salads don't order, you often make at home, use half a lettuce at a time, with some other leftover cloves, and then a boiled egg, is a salad, choose another one! I didn't order vegetable salad later, ordered a cheese cheese pancake that the family didn't know how to make, and ate a stomach full of high fat and high protein.
The salad my husband said had cloves, boiled eggs and lettuce was actually called Caesar's salad, and sometimes I added some small tomatoes to it. Caesar salad is one of the most popular vegetable salads in the West, also known as the "King of Salads", because of its easy ingredients and easy to make, first invented in 1924 by the owner and chef of an Italian restaurant named Caesar Cardini, and later often appeared at the weekend parties of Hollywood stars, so it was increasingly widely circulated and popular. Of course, the ingredients of Caesar salad will be slightly different according to different habits, and the ingredients will be slightly different from the local ingredients, in addition to lettuce and bread crisps, bacon, cheese, egg crumbs and tomatoes will also be added.
Caesar salad sauce of course in the end is their own mix, but more complicated, some of the materials are not necessarily on hand, I use a bottle of mustard sauce and a bottle of mayonnaise at home with a large spoon, one to one ratio of mixing, in fact, many Western restaurants now use ready-made spices.
Today there is just an avocado, I used half an avocado, toast bread is always prepared at home, and then use half a lettuce, a boiled egg, in the Western restaurant 28 yuan Caesar salad can not have this half avocado Oh.
