Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups kale, chopped
- 1 cup Brussels sprouts, finely sliced
- 1 cup broccoli slaw
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
- 1 carrot, grated
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped kale, sliced Brussels sprouts, broccoli slaw, red cabbage, and grated carrot.
Add the dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds to the bowl and gently toss to combine all the ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well blended.
Pour the dressing over the kale salad and mix thoroughly to evenly coat the vegetables with the dressing.
Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. This will also slightly soften the kale.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
