Ingredients

  • 3 cup of kale
  • 1 cup of broccoli slaw
  • 1 cup of shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup of sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup of pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup of cranberries
  • 1/3 cup of poppyseed dressing

Instructions

  • Wash all the vegetables and pat them dry.
  • If you are shredding the carrots yourself, peel and shred them using a cheese grater.
  • Prepare the kale: remove the stem from the kale by pulling the stem in one hand and the leaves in the other one. Toss the stem and chop the leaves.
  • In a large bowl, place the kale, shredded carrots, and broccoli slaw. Toss it.
  • Add the almonds, dried cranberries, and pumpkin seeds. Toss some more.
  • Prepare the dressing as directed in this recipe.
  • Pour over the salad and toss one last time; it is ready!

Notes

- Prepare ahead of time, and if not dressed, you may store the salad for 2 days and the dressing for 2 weeks in a closed jar in the refrigerator.
- Use a store-bought lemon poppyseed dressing if you need a shortcut.
