Warm Cabbage Salad

We tried a new restaurant for my birthday, and the best thing we had was a Warm Cabbage Salad which consisted of a roasted napa cabbage steak topped with green goddess dressing, parmesan, and crispy anchovies. I have been thinking about that salad ever since, so finally decided to try re-creating it at home. My boyfriend agreed it was just as good as the restaurant version, so I’m definitely adding it to the repertoire. And as a bonus it leaves plenty of leftover green goddess dressing to use on other things!
