However, Roman emperor Julius Caesar, who was stabbed with 23 knives, has nothing to do with the Caesar Salad. The salad was named after Caesar Cardini (1896-1956), who first served it in Tijuana, Mexico in the 1920s.
 
“Any salad can be a Caesar salad if you stab it enough” is a related joke.
     
 
Wikipedia: Caesar salad
A Caesar salad (also spelled Cesar, César and Cesare) is a green salad of romaine lettuce and croutons dressed with lemon juice (or lime juice), olive oil, egg yolks, Worcestershire sauce, anchovies, garlic, Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper.
 
Wikipedia: Julius Caesar
Gaius Julius Caesar (/ˈsiːzər/, SEE-zər; Latin: [ˈɡaːiʊs ˈjuːliʊs ˈkae̯sar]; 12 July 100 BC – 15 March 44 BC) was a Roman general and statesman. A member of the First Triumvirate, Caesar led the Roman armies in the Gallic Wars before defeating his political rival Pompey in a civil war, and subsequently became dictator from 49 BC until his assassination in 44 BC.
