"Any salad can be a Caesar salad if you stab it enough” is a jocular line that has been printed on ecards. The line was cited on tumblr on November 11, 2013, and on Twitter on December 28, 2013.
Roman emperor Julius Caesar, however, 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.
Somewhat related to the Caesar salad and to this one-line saying is the “Brutus salad.”
Wikipedia: Caesar salad
A Caesar salad is a salad of romaine lettuce and croutons dressed with parmesan cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and black pepper.
Wikipedia: Julius Caesar
Gaius Julius Caesar (Classical Latin: [ˈɡaː.i.ʊs ˈjuː.li.ʊs ˈkae̯.sar]; 13 July 100 BC – 15 March 44 BC) was a Roman statesman, general and notable author of Latin prose.
