The Prohibition era (1920-1933) in the U.S. led to various unintended culinary innovations, one of which is the Caesar salad. Created by Cesare Cardini, an Italian restaurateur who relocated to Tijuana to serve alcohol, the salad originated from his need to improvise due to a shortage of ingredients. Its success at his restaurant drew American patrons, creating a love for the dish that transcended the border and continued even after Prohibition ended. Cardini returned to California to refine the salad's recipe, ensuring its lasting legacy in American dining culture.
The Prohibition led to the creation of many cocktails as a way to mask the poor quality of homemade alcohol, and also to the rise of speakeasies.
Cesare Cardini invented the Caesar salad in Tijuana during the Prohibition when he had to use limited ingredients, turning a mishap into a culinary success.
The Caesar salad's popularity soared due to its origin at Cardini's restaurant in Tijuana, which became a favored spot for Americans seeking alcohol.
After the Prohibition ended, Cardini further developed the Caesar salad recipe, solidifying its place in American cuisine.
