This year's first ingredient for the Infinite Paradise Project is spring cabbage. In 1924, at Caesar's Place restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico, owner-chef Caesar Cardini found himself short on ingredients and, in a pinch, threw together a salad on the spot from whatever was left - romaine, bread, and so on. It became an unprecedented hit, and that's supposedly how today's #CaesarSalad came to be. Today, made with spring cabbage instead of romaine, 450kcal Caesar Salad.

Steps
- 01
Let's make croutons. Tear the baguette into rough chunks and toast in a pan until extra crispy.
- 02
Mix 2T mayonnaise, 1T lemon juice, and 1T whole grain mustard to make a lemon mayonnaise. Today I added 1T honey to make it a bit sweeter.
- 03
Pull the leaves off the spring cabbage, cut into bite-sized pieces, and pile onto a plate. Top with the lemon mayonnaise and baguette croutons from above, then parmesan cheese. Crush a little pink peppercorn over the top.
