A quick Google would suggest that "Caesar" is the correct spelling of the former Roman ruler and salad (and that the salad was not in fact named after the ruler) but NOBODY SPELLS IT THAT WAY*. In fact, now that I think about it, I remember being taught in school at some point that "Caesar" is an antiquated form of "Ceasar." Spell check keeps wanting to change "Ceasar" in to "Caesar" but it just doesn't look right. And no, I don't write about ancient Rome, my protagonist likes salads.
What say the brain trust, "Ceasar" is just wrong, or so commonly used it is an acceptable spelling? The question is somewhat rhetorical in that I am not going to edit all of my books.
*Obviously some people do, it's just an observed generalization
