Sweet Kale Salad
This Sweet Kale Salad served with a Citrus Vinaigrette is so light and refreshing. It is easy to make and comes together in just 20 minutes. The perfect anytime side dish!
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of curly kale (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup brussels sprouts (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup cabbage (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup purple cabbage (thinly sliced)
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup raw pumpkin seeds
Dressing
- ½ large lemon juiced
- ½ large orange juiced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp. dijon mustard
- ⅛ tsp. garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- First prepare your ingredients. Cut all your veggies (kale, cabbage, brussels sprouts) into thin strip like you would chiffonade fresh basil.
- Place the kale into a large bowl and massage for 2-3 minutes. This will help to tenderize the kale and aide in digestion.
- To your bowl add the other ingredients: cabbage, brussels sprouts, pumpkin seeds and cranberries. Mix well to incorporate everything together and set aside.
- Into a separate small bowl add the orange juice, lemon juice, maple syrup, dijon mustard, garlic powder and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk together well.
- Next, while continuously whisking add your olive oil and mix well to emulsify your dressing. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
- Pour about half of the dressing over your greens and incorporate together. Your salad will be lightly dressed. If you want a more heavily dressed salad you can add it once plated or add the extra dressing to the bowl now.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Massaging the kale will not only result in a more tender tastier green but aide in digestion as well. I highly recommend taking the time for this step!
