Servings: Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 large bunch curly green or red kale, washed and patted dry, tough stems removed (about 5 cups)
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 medium apple, thinly sliced
- 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned or cut into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
- 1 cup shredded Brussels sprouts (may substitute with an additional 2 cups kale)
- ¼ cup raisins or dried cranberries
- 3 Tbsp. roasted pumpkin seeds
- 2 Tbsp. roasted sunflower seeds
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- Black pepper to taste
- Optional – 1/3 cup feta, goat or parmesan cheese (omit for vegan, dairy-free & Whole30)
Instructions
- Get out a big bowl. Tear the washed kale into bite-sized pieces and toss into the bowl. Sprinkle with sea salt.
- Massage the kale. Really get into it. Continue to massage the leaves with the salt until they start to soften and wilt a bit.
- Combine the oil, vinegar, and black pepper and set aside. Do not add extra salt, there’s plenty on the kale already. Toss remaining ingredients (apple through sunflower seeds) into kale.
- Drizzle with oil and vinegar dressing, toss to combine and serve.
