The ever-popular Caesar salad is renown world-wide, however, it’s not common knowledge that this leafy staple was actually invented in Mexico.   Caesar Cardini, who is credited with creating the salad was Italian by birth, immigrated to San Diego but during the Prohibition Era operated restaurants in Tijuana.  According to urban legend, one very busy night the kitchen ran short, and salads were made with what was on-hand.  In order to give a bit of flair, the salads were tossed at the tables.

platillo de hoja verde fue concebido en México. César Cardini, a quien se le atribuye la creación de la ensalada, era italiano de nacimiento, emigró a San Diego y durante la época de la Ley Seca en los EUA, manejaba restaurantes en Tijuana. De acuerdo a la leyenda urbana, una noche muy ajetreada, la comida en la cocina se agotó y las ensaladas se prepararon con lo que había a la mano. Con el objeto de darle algo de estilo, las ensaladas fueron preparadas en las mesas.

An ex-Connecticut Yankee who has called Cozumel home for over 18 years, Laura ran away to the Caribbean years ago, bumped around the islands teaching SCUBA diving, lost some time in Jamaica, and finally stopped in Cozumel for a 2 week vacation that hasn’t ended yet. With a degree in Journalism from a fancy private college she convinced her parents to pay for, Laura writes, edits, and creates the weekly Cozumel 4 You news, social media, and promotional articles about the island, as well as moderates the Cozumel 4 You Facebook group, which currently has over 25,000 members. Her long suffering husband, Fabian, has long since resigned himself to having zero private life, as he’s been involved in her various schemes and plots since his arrival. Proud parents to a variety of rescue dogs and cats, Laura continues to be the bane of her traditional Mexican mother-in-law’s existence, as she muses her way through life in the Mexican Caribbean. ______________________________ Una ex yanqui de Connecticut quien llama hogar a Cozumel desde hace más de 15 años.
