Ingredients
- 4 cups of chopped kale
- 1 cup of shredded green cabbage
- ½ cup of roasted almonds, chopped
- ¼ cup of shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Kale: Wash and chop the kale leaves. Use your hands to massage the kale with a little bit of olive oil or lemon juice to soften it. This helps to release its natural flavors and tenderness.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the massaged kale, shredded cabbage, roasted almonds, and Parmesan cheese (if using). Toss them together until the ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Add the Dressing: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss to coat everything evenly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately as a side dish or a light meal. Enjoy the refreshing crunch and vibrant flavors!
