I would say that it is dependent because it cannot stand alone. I believe that it would need a verb to be independent.

phrase-an appositive phrase to be exact
An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it . The appositive can be a short or long combination of words
All clauses have a verb.
