Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the kale thoroughly. Remove the tough stems and chop the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Wash the green and red cabbage. Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice both cabbages into shreds.

Step 3

Peel the carrot and grate it using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrot to the salad.

Step 4

Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant. Let them cool before roughly chopping.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped kale, shredded green and red cabbage, grated carrot, and toasted almonds.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to ensure all ingredients are coated. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together. Enjoy your refreshing Paleo Kale and Cabbage Salad!
