Caesar salad turns 100 this month with festive events
Italian immigrant Caesar Cardini is credited with creating the Caesar salad on July 4 1924 at Caesars Place in Tijuana Mexico during a crowded night. Tijuana marked the centennial with a three day festival and a statue unveiling. Cardini later moved to Los Angeles and his family founded Caesar Cardini Foods Inc. Variations and dressing sales continue to drive the dish’s enduring popularity worldwide.
