HOW MANY CALORIES ARE IN A CAESAR SALAD

So, how many calories are in a Caesar salad? Well, the number of calories in Caesar salad depends on the total ingredients used and the quantities of each ingredient. Bear in mind that some variations of the original Caesar salad recipe used different ingredients. Moreover, some variations are made without dressing, which would lower the calorie count. So, a Caesar salad can range from 100 to 800 or more calories. The examples give below are approximate for an average homemade Caesar salad using the original salad recipe including the dressing and fried croutons.

There are:

• 155 calories for a small 3.5 oz or 100g Caesar salad
• 179 calories for a 4 oz or 114g Caesar salad
• 264 calories for a 6 oz or 170g Caesar salad
• 358 calories for an 8 oz or 227g Caesar salad
• 442 calories for a main course 10 oz or 284g serving of Caesar salad
• 531 calories for a large 12 oz or 341g serving of Caesar salad
• 709 calories for 1 pound, or 16 ounces, or 454g, of Caesar salad

And here are the original ingredients of the Hotel Caesar's recipe:

• romaine or cos lettuce
• freshly prepared croutons
• wine vinegar
• fresh squeezed lemon juice or lime juice
• Worcestershire sauce
• raw or coddled egg yolks
• freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• fresh crushed garlic
• olive oil
• salt to taste
• fresh ground black pepper to taste

And here are variations: these are a few of the most common ones:

• grilled poultry such as chicken, duck or goose
• meat
• fish
• shellfish
• Romano cheese
• anchovies
• bacon
• other types of lettuce

Be aware of the health risk associated with raw eggs. You may prefer your Caesar salad to be made with coddled egg yolks. A coddled egg is similar to a poached egg but it is cooked slowly in its shell and retains a soft yolk and a soft tender white. Coddled eggs are delicious. The only completely safe way to eat eggs is to either hold them when cooking at 140 degrees for three and a half minutes, which is the time it takes to pasteurize them, or to cook them to 160 degrees.
