Ingredients
Scale
For the kale salad
- 2 cups shredded kale
- 2 cups thinly sliced or shaved Brussels sprouts
- 2 cups broccoli slaw
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 2/3 cup pepitas – roasted and salted
For the poppyseed dressing
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup light mayo
- 2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon round black pepper
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Add the shredded kale to the bowl you will be serving the salad in (I recommend a large salad bowl). Drizzle the kale with olive oil or water and use your hands to massage it for 1-2 minutes to break it down, then let it rest for a few minutes.
- Make the poppyseed dressing – add all of the dressing ingredients (Greek yogurt, mayo, vinegar, lemon juice and zest, maple syrup, salt and pepper) to a medium bowl and whisk well to fully combine then whisk in the poppy seeds.
- Add the rest of the salad ingredients to the bowl with the kale. Pour the dressing evenly over the salad.
- Toss the salad well to coat everything in the amazing dressing and serve!
Notes
- You can use curly kale or dark lacinato (dinosaur) kale.
- If you cannot find broccoli slaw then use a combination of chopped broccoli, shredded carrots and shredded red or purple cabbage.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
