- Minced Garlic 1/2 Tbsp
- Anchovy Fish Sauce 1/2 Tbsp

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash the fresh spring cabbage to remove any dirt or potential pests. Soak it in water with a splash of vinegar for about 10 minutes, then rinse under running water while gently shaking. This ensures the cabbage is clean and safe to eat.
Step 2
Once clean, cut the spring cabbage into bite-sized pieces. It’s best to cut them into larger pieces, about 2-3 segments, to maintain the cabbage’s signature crisp texture.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients: sugar, minced garlic, anchovy fish sauce, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Whisk or stir with a spoon until smooth and well-combined, ensuring no lumps remain. This creates a delicious, emulsified dressing.
Step 4
Place the prepared spring cabbage in a large serving bowl. Drizzle the homemade special Caesar dressing evenly over the cabbage. Gently toss to coat all the leaves with the dressing. Be careful not to overmix, as this can bruise the delicate cabbage leaves.
Step 5
For an extra touch of deliciousness, toast some leftover bread cut into cubes until golden brown to make croutons. Sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese. This elevates your Spring Cabbage Caesar Salad to a restaurant-worthy dish. It’s a perfect centerpiece for your home party!
