Step #12 Comments: It's said that the Caesar got its start in 1924 when Italian chef Caesar Cardini made the salad at his popular restaurant in Tijuana.
Step #13 The dressing is the subject of some concern since it contains raw eggs, which can contain the bacteria Salmonella enteritidis.
Step #14 While the risk is extremely low, it's best to use the freshest eggs possible.
Step #15 If you are unsure of the age of your eggs, place them in a bowl of cold water, & throw away any that float -- a sign that the egg has shrunk through extended moisture loss.
Step #16 You can also break a raw egg into a bowl & smell it.
Step #17 An old or stale egg will smell like damp grass or straw.
Step #18 You can also use pasteurized liquid eggs (they're are only slightly less efficient for emulsifying).
Step #19 Cuisine: "Mexican".
