For the Salad
For the Apple Cider Dijon Vinaigrette
Prep the Kale:
Add chopped kale to a large bowl.
cup curly kale
Lemon juice
Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and a small squeeze of lemon (optional). Massage the kale with your hands for 2–3 minutes until tender and darker in color.
cup green cabbage
Add the shredded green cabbage to the kale and toss to combine.
Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl or mason jar, combine all vinaigrette ingredients. Shake or whisk until well emulsified and smooth.
cup extra virgin olive oil
cup apple cider vinegar
tbsp maple syrup or honey
tbsp Dijon mustard
tsp garlic powder
tsp salt
tsp freshly ground black pepper
Pour about half the dressing over the kale/cabbage mixture.
Massage again gently to help the flavors absorb and kale soften further. Let rest for 5–10 minutes for best flavor.
Add toasted sliced almonds just before serving for crunch. Add more dressing to taste and toss to coat.
cup roasted sliced almonds
