Ingredients
  

Kale salad:
  • 6 cups curly kale thinly sliced about 1 large bunch
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil divided
  • 2 cups green cabbage thinly sliced about ½ of a medium head of cabbage
  • 1 cup almonds
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Optional:
  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 apples diced
  • blueberries
Dijon apple cider vinaigrette:
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3.5 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2.5 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1.5 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add kale and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Use your hands to massage the oil into the kale. Continue until kale is soft and tender (about 3-4 minutes). Add cabbage to the bowl and set aside.
  2. In a small pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add almonds and salt. Allow the almonds to toast, stirring frequently for about 3-5 minutes. Once almonds are cool, use a sharp knife to chop them up into small pieces.
  3. Top kale and cabbage with almonds, feta cheese and diced apples (if using).
  4. Combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a mason jar or container with a lid. Close the lid and shake to combine. Adjust spices to meet desired taste preferences!
  5. Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss to combine.
