Who invented it?
Definitely not the Swiss.
One could almost assume that the name of the popular salad is a tribute to Julius Caesar.
But no.
The Caesar salad was
first prepared by Caesar Cardini in Tijuana
, Mexico.
Some say Cardini's
brother Alex
invented the famous salad.
It doesn't really matter who prepared the salad for the first time, does it?
