Ingredients

  • 4 cups kale
  • 2 cups green cabbage
  • 1 cup red cabbage
  • 1 large carrot
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the kale thoroughly and pat it dry. Remove the stems, then chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Finely shred the green cabbage and red cabbage, making sure to remove any tough core sections.

Step 3

Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or food processor.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the kale, green cabbage, red cabbage, and grated carrot.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined to form the dressing.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the kale and cabbage mixture, tossing everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the kale to soften.

Step 8

Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
