WHAT YOU’LL NEED FOR THE PARTY CHOPPED KALE SALAD
Kale: This robust supper green is one of the best to incorporate into salads. An antioxidant powerhouse loaded with essential vitamins and minerals. For this salad we are de-veining some freshly harvested kale and chopping using a food processor. This also helps to massage the kale.
Cauliflower: The bouquet that keeps on giving. This low calorie, high fiber addition to the salad brings some naturally sweet crunch.
Red Cabbage: Bringing in some vibrancy to the bowl alongside its prebiotic effects. Feel free to use a green cabbage if that is what you have on hand.
Red Onions: A fresh crunchy bite to add a little wake up kick to the bowl.
*****To reduce the bite from onions, soak in ice cold water for about 5 to 10 minutes.****
Dried Cranberries: These are our favorite when bringing some sweet and tangy chewiness to the salad. Feel free to chop into smaller bits like we did here.
