The salad was created on July 4, 1924, by Caesar Cardini at Caesar's in Tijuana, Mexico, when the kitchen was overwhelmed and short on ingredients. It was originally prepared tableside,[1] and it is still prepared tableside at the original venue.

Restaurant 100 yrs ago: “let’s throw something cheap together quickly, so the guests can eat”

Restaurant now: “here’s your salad that somehow costs more than a burger”
