I like Caesar salad dressing. What kind of other dressing would I like that has fewer calories (the fewer the better)?
I suggest you start with the basics and try moving on from there.At its most simple, try a sprinkle of vinegar -- and there are many different kinds of flavored vinegar -- or a citrus juice. Ultra-low calorie.If this doesn't quite do it, next try adding some oil. Olive oil was likely the first oil used to dress salads, so why not start there? There are also many kinds of olive oils, with more or less flavor and different, natural flavors. The traditional ratio is 3 oil to 1 vinegar. But there's no law that requires that. Do realize that oil is where the calories start creeping in.If oil-and-vinegar (or -citrus juice) isn't it, move on to a basic "Italian" dressing by adding dried herbs to that mixture. Oregano, thyme, tarragon, etc. can be added singly or in mixtures. Herbs don't pack a lot of calories.You can add an emulsifier like dried mustard powder -- in very small amounts -- to create a different kind of dressing -- "French" dressing. The mustard (or sometimes dried egg yolk) helps keep the oil and vinegar from separating. The mustard doesn't add significantly to the calorie count, but egg yolks themselves are fatty, even dried ones. One form of emulsified dressing is Mayonnaise.After these, you can start adding other kinds of ingredients. Chopped pickles go into "Russian" or "Thousand Island" dressings; caviar and herbs into "Green Goddess"; small pieces of feta cheese into "Greek".Watch the calories of what you put in. Sugar can be part of their make-up.

Is eating Caesar salad healthy?
A classic Caesar is a salad of romaine lettuce and croutons dressed with parmesan cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and black pepper. I suppose this really depends on your definition of healthy as well. The only questionable additive in that is croutons, because refined wheat is not great for anyone, but a few croutons won't hurt.So, if that's what you call a Caesar salad, then yes, that's healthy. Take a look at the back of the bottle of dressing you got from the grocery store claiming to be Caesar, if it's got something unlisted from above and oddly chemical sounding, maybe you should walk away.
Is the origin of Caesar salad Mexican?
There is still a bit of controversy on where exactly the Caesar salad was invented, but everything points out to the Cardini brothers, specially Italian American Caesar Cardini.His most famous restaurant (and hotel) is still operating a few meters from the original spot in Avenida Revolución in Tijuana and of course, they still serve the original recipe with a waiter preparing the Caesar dressing right in front of you.CaesarsSo Tijuana claims that it was invented by Cardini in this restaurant and some others say that he either invented it in a restaurant in San Diego or at his home in that city.The original location of the restaurant, literally 8 meters away from where it is now located.At least we have the geographical area defined.And there is not doubt the salad and dressing are both delicious, that the Cardini’s where the inventors (or maybe one of their chefs) and though we do not know the exact same place, there is one restaurant still operating (since 1927) basically in the original spot where the salad was first serve to the public, which I highly recommend.
How many calories are in Texas Roadhouse caesar salad w/ chicken?
When I contacted them, they said: Thank you for contacting us regarding our nutritional information. At this time, we do not offer calorie counts and other nutritional information. We can assure you that we are cognizant of the demand from guests such as yourself to provide this information, but there are several factors that make this difficult. Many of the large food service companies that offer specific nutritional information can do so because their food is pre-packaged and/or pre-portioned. Since we make our food from scratch, including the bacon bits, croutons, and dressings, it is next to impossible to provide exact nutritional information because of slight variations that depend upon who prepares the food. We also make our bread from scratch each day and hand-cut our steaks, so again, we do not have the exact information printed when it arrives like some foodservice operators or what you may find in the grocery store. We have attempted to provide some information in the past, but we pulled back after some guests complained we were not detailed enough. In addition, some enterprising folks tested the food and when it fell outside the guidelines threatened legal action. As such, we stopped providing our special gluten-free menu, for example. In addition, many states, counties and cities across the nation are attempting to pass legislation providing restaurants with guidelines and rules for displaying nutritional information. As a result, our efforts are on hold until we know what information will be required, the ranges that will be allowed and how that information should be distributed. Again, let me assure you that we are trying to find a solution so that our guests can make informed decisions. Thanks again for contacting us, and let us know if you have additional questions. So, 308 calories? NOT A CHANCE. Probably close to 900.

What is the reason why Caesar salad is bad for you?
Caesar salad is not bad for me. And it is not bad for you or anyone else. It may have some extra calories compared to a salad without dressing, but that’s it. Stop categorizing the food as good and bad, eat a great variety of foods - mostly plants and vegetables, not too much nor too little. And enjoy your salad.
