I don't know if I've ever had a Caesar salad. The Wikipedia's entry says that it's a "salad of romaine lettuce & croutons dressed with parmesan cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, & black pepper." I haven't always been vegan, so there's a chance I might have eaten one but I don't remember - it seems a pretty bland salad. No tomatoes? Gasp!
There are plenty of vegan recipes for Caesar salad out there - like this one, which also (kinda cool) has you make your croutons, something of which I approve.
There are many things one misses when one becomes vegan, but this salad doesn't seem as interesting as some others - like Greek salads. Boy, feta cheese. Feta cheese & olives, yum!
Also, apparently you can get salmonella with Caesar salad. & it wasn't named after the Caesar about which much of the show this week will be. Though it was named after an Italian named Caesar, so there's a connection, however untenable.
