They say that it was initially called "Fliers salad", and coming from an Italian recipe for times of crisis, and later, due to its acceptance, the own César recorded her and took her to worldwide fame. Other versions are running the name of comes from the Hotel César, supposedly owned by the same person.
It turns out to be a contemporary and urban salad, to be considered originating in Tijuana (Mexico). Reminds me of cosmopolitan cities such as London, New York or Hong Kong Since it is a recurrent dish there, those that when you travel in this type of cities and somewhat tired try local cuisine, you mentally returns to the West. And speaking of Hong Kong, I really liked your Skyline because, apart from its "high tech" architecture, there was one detail that made it special. In the afternoons, the buildings located in the first line of the island of Hong Kong, offer a panoramic spectacular from the peninsular part of Kowloon, because illuminate artistically for 15 minutes in tune with the music of the local radio stations.

Pairing
I propose for this dish a white, with enough acidity to hold everything. For example, Domain of tasks D. O. Bierzo 2010the grape variety is godello. Its price is around the €14.75
Directions
1 cooked hard egg, and cut into thin slices
2 wash the lettuce leaf by leaf, they drain and dry with kitchen paper. Added water should not be. Chop into three or four pieces each sheet, do not cut very small, but enough so that they eat comfortably, and set aside.
3. grate the Parmesan cheese. To my I like particularly grating for this dish with a medium sieve. We reserve it to add it to the end.
4. in a large dish or plain source, place chopped leaves of lettuce, croutons and boiled egg.
5. to make the sauce, proceed as if you were to beat mayonnaise: in Blender jar add the raw egg, a pinch of salt and pepper, is squeezing half a lemon, is added the tablespoon of salsa Perrins, and a little oil. It begins to beat incorporating the rest of oil gradually until it mount non-stop rolling. It is ready when it has mounted but the sauce has a good texture liquid.
6. to conclude, the sauce is poured just before serving is distributed by the salad and add the cheese alike. Is salpimenta a little bit and be ready to eat. Exquisite!
7. a recommendation: the César salad is known worldwide for its successful flavor and simplicity. They can add you all the imaginable ingredients: chicken, ham, shrimp, breaded, etc., but try to make it a day as it is, without any additive, you'll see as you enjoy the essence of the flavor.

Hi Noelia,
How I glad that you have come to the blog and that you liked! Very nice!! As regards your question, salad Caesar is named for the sauce that Caesar Cardini invented. The version I present to you is, as shown in the recipe, its version, and as I explained in the post. If you want, for the current version of the sauce, add a couple of anchovies (usually added instead of salsa perrins which is what gives that distinctive flavor) to the mayonnaise and blend together with the other ingredients. Regarding the chicken, you can add the ingredient that you prefer: chicken, shrimp, chicken breaded... you want. I hope I helped. Thank you very much for being here with me. A hug
