Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Kale leaves
- 200 g Green cabbage
- 200 g Red cabbage
- 1 medium Carrot
- 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 50 g Sliced almond
- 2 tbsp Chopped parsley
Instructions
Begin by washing the kale leaves thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
Remove the tough stems from the kale leaves and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped kale in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the green cabbage and red cabbage into thin slices or shred them using a mandoline or sharp knife. Add the shredded cabbages to the bowl with the kale.
Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or a food processor. Add the grated carrot to the bowl with the kale and cabbage.
In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together to create the salad dressing.
Pour the dressing over the mixture of kale, cabbage, and carrot. Use your hands to massage the dressing into the salad for about 1-2 minutes, which will help to soften the kale leaves and distribute the dressing evenly.
Add the sliced almonds to the salad for a crunchy texture.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top for a fresh, herby flavor.
Toss all the ingredients together until well combined.
Serve the sugar-free kale and cabbage salad immediately, or allow it to sit for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
