NOTES : During my travels, I once passed through Caesar, Mississippi, a town so small it's not on any map. And wouldn't you know it, I met a relative of the Caesar who invented the salad, right here in Mississippi. So, forget all the stories you heard about the salad coming from Mexico or Italy - they're just not true. Caesar's cousin helped me create this lower fat version. One of the keys for a great Caesar salad is chilled greens - wash and dry them, wrap in paper toweling, and store in the refrigerator. Serve this salad on a cold plate with a cold fork.
