As the WAGS begin to choose their dresses for the World Cup the team is demanding a dressing of its own and by name – Cardini’s Original Caesar Salad Dressing.
Cardini’s Original Caesar Salad dressing was introduced to the major high street retailers in 1994 by R.H. Amar & Co Ltd and now more than a million bottles of Cardini’s are sold in the UK every year also by the 1990’s one in four of all salads sold in American restaurants was a Caesar salad – truely a world class dressing for a world class team.
R.H. Amar & Co. Ltd, based in High Wycombe, is famous for distributing fine foods in the UK, and was delighted to be asked by the Football Association to provide 30 bottles of the delicious dressing to the England team ‘to help them win the World Cup’.
Caesar Cardini famously invented the dressing at his Mexican restaurant, just across the border from America, on Independence Day in 1924. Business was so brisk the kitchen ran short of ingredients so Cardini decided to cobble together a salad from leftovers including Romaine lettuce, olive oil, raw egg, garlic, parmesan cheese and Worcestershire sauce. The new dish became popular with visiting Hollywood stars and is said to have been introduced to Europe by Wallis Simpson.
Cardini Original Caesar Salad dressing is available from Tesco, Waitrose, Sainsburys and Budgens, the 250ml bottle retails at £1.59. Look out for a special offer in Sainsburys during the World Cup – 2 bottles for £2.50.
