Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Napa cabbage
- 3 oz Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
- 2 cups Day-old bread, cubed
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 fillets Anchovy fillets, finely chopped
- 1 yolk Egg yolk
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the cubed day-old bread onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Bake the bread cubes for 8-10 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool.
While the bread crumbs are baking, prepare the dressing. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped anchovies.
Add the egg yolk to the bowl and whisk vigorously until the mixture thickens slightly.
Slowly drizzle in 1 tablespoon of olive oil while continuing to whisk until the dressing is emulsified. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Thinly slice the Napa cabbage into shreds and place them in a large salad bowl.
Grate the Parmesan cheese using a fine grater and add it to the cabbage.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and Parmesan. Toss thoroughly to ensure the slaw is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cooled bread crumbs and chopped parsley over the top of the slaw just before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Caesar Napa Slaw with Homemade Golden Bread Crumbs!
