Broccoli Cabbage Caesar Salad
This Broccoli Cabbage Caesar Salad is sure to be a hit. It is crunchy and packed with flavor. What makes it so special is that it mostly likely is unlike any salad you’ve ever had. This is my party salad and every time I make it, people beg for the recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as I (and my guests) do!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
Salad
- 1 medium broccoli head, chopped into bite sized pieces, stems discarded (~3 cups)
- ⅓ head green, savoy or Napa cabbage, core removed, cut into wedges and then thinly sliced (~3 cups)
- ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, cut into bite sized pieces (I like to cut mine into small rectangles) or shaved Parmesan
- ¼ cup pine nuts
Dressing
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- juice of 1 lemon
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp whole grain mustard (I use the brand Bookbinder’s or Maille)
- 3 tbsp grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese
- salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine all the salad ingredients in a large bowl. To make the dressing, whisk ingredients together. Taste and adjust. Dress the salad at least 10 minutes before serving and finish with freshly cracked pepper. If you like your salad wetter (I don’t like to over dress my salads), drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil. Leftovers keep well for about a day.
Notes
Keeps well for about a day in the fridge.
