Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups kale
- 2 cups green cabbage
- 1 cup red cabbage
- 1 large carrot
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the kale thoroughly and pat it dry. Remove the stems, then chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Finely shred the green cabbage and red cabbage, making sure to remove any tough core sections.
Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or food processor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the kale, green cabbage, red cabbage, and grated carrot.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined to form the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the kale and cabbage mixture, tossing everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the kale to soften.
Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
