【文化常识】
Caesar Salad
恺撒沙拉
A Caesar salad is salad of romaine lettuce and croutons dressed with parmesan cheese,
lemon juice, olive oil, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and black pepper. Caesar
dressing is the key to a Caesar salad. Parmesan cheese can also be replaced by Asiago.
The original Caesar salad recipe did not contain pieces of anchovy; the slight anchovy
flavor comes from the Worcestershire sauce. It is often prepared tableside and
traditionally prepared in a wooden bowl.
恺撒沙拉的制作食材有长叶莴苣、涂抹芝士的油炸面包,并浇上帕玛森芝士、柠
檬汁、橄榄油、鸡蛋、伍斯特沙司、大蒜和黑胡椒。恺撒沙拉酱是这道菜的关
键。帕马森芝士士也可以用艾斯阿格芝士替代。最原始的恺撒沙拉食谱中没有
鯷鱼这一食材,沙拉中的鯷鱼口味来源于伍斯特沙司。这道菜经常会在饭桌旁现
场准备,通常是在木碗中制成的。
The salad’s creation is generally attributed to restaurateur Caesar Cardini, an Italian
immigrant who operated restaurants in Mexico and the United States. His daughter
Rosa (1928-2003) recounted that her father invented the dish when a Fourth of July
1924 rush depleted the kitchen’s supplies. Cardini made do with what he had, adding
the dramatic flair of the table-side tossing "by the chef". This story is not certifiable
however it very well could have happened. The salad soon became a hit. In 1948,
Cardini began to sell the dressing commercially under the name of Cardini’s.
恺撒沙拉的起源可以归因于一位叫凯撒·卡迪尼的饭店老板,他是一位在美国和墨
西哥开办餐馆的意大利移民。据他的女儿罗莎叙述：她的父亲发明这道菜是在
1924年7月4日，那天如潮般的食客消耗了厨房所有的食材。卡迪尼将就着用他
仅有的食材为客人在桌边搅拌沙拉来增加感染力。这个故事无证可考，但是极
有可能发生过。不久之后恺撒沙拉便深受欢迎。1948年,卡迪尼以“卡迪尼”为名
出售恺撒沙拉酱。
Nowadays, many variations of the salad exist for example, by topping a Caesar salad
with grilled chicken, steak, or seafood. Certain Mexican restaurants may improvise on
items such as substituting tortilla strips for croutons.
如今有许多沙拉根据恺撒沙拉演变而来，比如用烤鸡、牛肉或海鲜盖在恺撒沙
拉上。一些墨西哥饭店用玉米片代替涂抹芝士的油炸面包。
