Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Kale
- 2 cups Green cabbage
- 1 cup Red cabbage
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 cup Almonds
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the kale thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Once clean, remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Thinly slice the green and red cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for uniformity and add them to a large salad bowl with the kale.
Cut the large avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Cut it into cubes and add to the salad.
Roughly chop the almonds and toast them in a small pan over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Allow to cool before adding to the salad.
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad, spreading it evenly.
In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together or shake until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss all the ingredients together until the greens are nicely coated.
Serve the salad fresh or let it sit in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy your keto-friendly kale and cabbage salad as a side or a main dish!
