Ingredients
- 2 whole Anchovy fillets, finely chopped
- 1 whole Garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1/2 cup Olive oil
- 3 tbsp Freshly grated Parmesan cheese + more for garnish
- 2 medium Heads of broccoli, cut into long florets
- 1/4 cup Napa cabbage, finely sliced

Method
- Fill a large stock pot with water. Bring to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for about 2 minutes. Remove the broccoli from the pot and place them into a large bowl filled with ice and water. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, and a big pinch of kosher salt. Next, add in the egg yolk and whisk until smooth. Gradually add in olive oil until the mixture is emulsified. Whisk in the Parmesan cheese.
- Remove the broccoli florets from the water and place on a cutting board. Run your knife gently through the broccoli giving it a rough cut. Add the broccoli to a salad bowl along with the cabbage. Toss with the dressing, garnish with more Parmesan if desired, season with salt + pepper, and serve!
