Ingredients

• 2 cups Chopped kale
• 1 cup Shredded cabbage
• 1 cup Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Cauliflower florets
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Avocado, diced
• 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro
• 0.25 cup Sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cruciferous vegetables. Rinse and chop the kale, removing any tough stems. Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the red bell pepper. Cut broccoli and cauliflower into small, bite-sized florets.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped kale, shredded cabbage, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, sliced red bell pepper, diced avocado, and sliced green onions.

Step 3

Add chopped cilantro and sunflower seeds to the bowl for an herby and nutty depth of flavor.

Step 4

To make the dressing, in a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until emulsified and smooth.

Step 5

Drizzle the lemon dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently to ensure that all the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 6

Let the salad sit for at least 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve the Keto Cruciferous Crunch Salad immediately, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours for enhanced flavors.
