Relax guys...It is not a lot of oil...Most of you are just used to using Mayonnaise as a straight product...for your information Mayonnaise is 70% oil and most brands use cheap soybean oil or Palm oil..He used much less and made an authentic Mayonnaise dressing using a high quality product with no fillers, added flavours, or preservatives...
1 tbsp of expeller pressed oil is usually 130 calories. Do you know how little 1 tbsp is? That was easily 5 or 6. This is not a low calorie recipe. Calories in, calories out. Consume that much oil every day and you will gain weight.
@@PaulieWalnuts1776 but it’s for multiple people, not one person. I mean, if you wanna eat the whole thing go for it, but you don’t usually consume that whole thing on your own. It’s a starter. Plus, all restaurants have calories laden food. They don’t give a damn about how fattening something is, just if it tastes good. People only freak out once they see it prepared in from of them. I speak from kitchen experience. The key is to only eat every now and then at restaurants, don’t make it a habit.

🥗🥗🥗Thanks everyone for watching my video! NOTE that I've included the RECIPE for the original Caesar's Salad in the video Description. Many of you have asked about the omission of garlic and anchovy in this clip. Which WERE added, but before I started the video capture. Influencer FAIL! 🤣You'll see they are listed in the recipe.
I remember when I visited here, the salad was plated this same way, but someone (guessing manager) corrected them on putting parmesan cheese on the first layer of lettuce prior to putting on the next layer. I felt so bad but it tasted soooo GOOD. Loved it here.
The great thing is, you can make this salad in exactly the same amount of time as he did. He did it with more flourish of course, but all the same stuff. I use lemon myself, but same diff. Play with it once a week and find your perfect recipe. Add a bit more of this or that. It's fun! And tasty!
My wife and I sat at this very restaurant and learned this beloved salad is Mexican. We actual sat at the table to the left of the waiter. My favorite thing is to ask people where the Cesar salad originated. Everyone says Italy
NOTE: I've posted a NEW & IMPROVED VIDEO on the making of the Caesar's Salad in Tijuana with Master Ensaladero Armando Villegas at ua-cam.com/video/77LbNwCy2bk/v-deo.html. Armando has been tossing the salad for over 35 years! Includes step-by-step instructions on a salad to feed a party of 20. And I didn't miss any ingredients this time ;-)
Having a big bowl with plenty of room for tossing is such a key technique for any salad. Our modern habit of pouring dressing on after serving is so inadequate.

Curioso: prefiero las ensaladas César de Tamaulipas, Nuevo León y Coahuila ya que llevan distintas verduras además de pechuga de pollo, jamón y queso blanco.
No hay nada de malo con las variaciones de la ensalada y pueden ser bastante deliciosas y satisfactorias. Pero la ensalada Tijuana original era bastante simple, como se describe aquí. ¡Saludos!
As a French Service waiter I've made many a Caesar Salad, table-side. I mostly agree with the recipe above but would add; Tabasco Sauce, Red Wine Vinegar, juice from a hard lemon (not lime). Taste the anchovy, Moroccan anchovy is spicier than Portuguese or Spanish anch.- add less or more to taste. Red Wine Vinegar should be astringent not sweet in any way.
Correct about the anchovies. However, it's a point of contention as to whether the salad was created by Caesar or his brother Alex (depends on which historian you ask). For posterity's (and branding's) sake, most attribute it's creation to Caesar.
why use limes rather then lemons? ansi,,,u made thus exactly like this same technique...the very best salad totally dominating!! a good 3 anchovy filets and oil
Yes, there were anchovies, but they were added before I began filming 😂 Actually, Cardini’s original salad didn’t include them. He felt the Worcestershire sauce added enough umami. They were incorporated into his brother Alex’s Aviator salad a few years later, and eventually into the Caesar. I’m glad, because I love anchovy!
@@AGringoinMexico No problem! I'm just glad to know it was part of the recipe since it seems like this post was about authenticity and history. Anchovies a forgotten ingredient!
You can find the recipe at the end of this article on the salad by my friend and colleague Michael Gardiner... www.sandiegouniontribune.com/lifestyle/food-and-cooking/story/2019-05-14/caesar-salad-has-mixed-history-but-got-its-start-in-tijuana

Having had the original salad on multiple occasions, I'm with you.. The amount of oil they're using is justified by the delicious final salad, full of umami and with the addition of parmesan and anchovy, really not that oily at all. And I'm an American ;-) Thanks for your comment!
@@AGringoinMexico The oil looked just fine! The acidified yolk emulsified the oil into a dressing thick enough to coat the leaves perfectly. It looks delicious and I can almost smell it. Ummm...
There is a legend in México called la llorona (the crying mother) and now there is a new legend el pendejo que le echa un chingo de aceite a las ensaladas ( the guy that pours to much damn oil on the salads)
Hey, this amount of oil is because they're making mayonnaise in the bowl. If you use mayonnaise, it's just oil plus a bit of egg (normal mayo is ~70% oil). So in the end, it's like several spoonfuls of mayonnaise.
@Fat Tony me? I've literally never been to mcdonalds in my life my dad never let me as a kid but thanks for asking :D the fact that u assume everyone goes to mcdonalds proves how much fucking mcdonalds you eat though lmfao! its not even food. Wouldnt surprise me if they use human meat at mcds
I think it's more like salad leaves, mayonnaise (i.e. olive oil + yolk, beaten), and parmesan. And some flavor stuff (Worchestershire, garlic, and pepper).
“Extra virgin olive oil” God I hope not. EVO isn’t good for making vinaigrette’s. When you blend EVO it tends to get a bitter taste. Salad oil or canola oil would be preferable.
Thanks for your comment Ethan! EVO is used in the original 1927 recipe from Caesar's Restaurante in Tijuana. I'm not even sure they had canola oil back then! LOL! For what it's worth, it balances out with the other ingredients and a bitter taste isn't noticed. There's always room for improvement, but this is the classic Ceasar's. Provécho!
There are many olives out there, so some oils are fruitier some are more peppery. Besides that many people like the taste of extra virgin oil, that's kind of the point of it.
The story as popularly told is that Caesar Cardini had just closed for the night but received a group of hungry airmen from Southern California at his door at the last minute, and didn't want to turn them away. His stocks were depleted, so he scrambled to make something with what he had on hand, which apparently included olive oil. Often, necessity is the mother of invention. And this invention has become a classic.
About 45 years ago I had my first real Caesar salad at the Club de Golf in Mexico City. The server that made it table-side had one arm, and his skill and showmanship were amazing.
So classy. The way he adds and mixes everything together. Elegant.

Not Italy. Ensenada, México by a group of Mexican aviators cooking aficionados. Cardini plagiarized the recipe and americanized the original.
@@bombonalvarez3802 read the responses fully. NO one said the caesar salad is from Italy.

Judging by the ingredients it looks more healthy than the supermarket ones
It's what it is...a work of art.
Good job coming in at the 3rd ingredient.
Thanks 😂😂😂 I’m a food writer, not so much a video guy. And I don’t miss a beat in my stories.
It's Hotel Caesar's. Great restaurant and a great bar.
Is that a time machine on the right?
Hahahahah! Sure...a time machine that also generates heat ;-)
That’s the OG Ceasar salad, no mayo from a jar or funny ingredients.
But it doesn’t taste as good tho,maybe taste authentic but I prefer the more recently change to Caesar salad you would find in buffet and stuffs
Well Ceasar Dressing is kinda just spiced Mayo. Just freshly made.
@@NguyenQuang-tm3outhat’s your opinion
No anchovies please. I know they are not traditional, but I would use two anchovies and capers.

There is another video from this same restaurant with a different server that goes slower, each ingredient is easily viewed.

Me: Look at those 2 old guys waving at back.
So how is it eaten? With hands or knife and fork? Tongs? Seriously curious.
As with the original, the leaves of Romaine are left intact so they can be picked up with the hands and eaten individually :-)
@@AGringoinMexico -- Well, I'll be doggone. Many thanks.

This is really heavy on the Wor sauce and oil but probably tastes good.
Worchestershire supplies some of the vinegar. Make sure you use Lea & Perrins, the original.
Ah the clásico
Crushed black pepper is missing. :)
I don't think people realize how much oil it takes to make an emulsified vinaigrette... a lot!!!
Yeah, basically they make mayonnaise on the spot, right? Which is 67% oil.
