Ingredients

1 cup shredded carrots * pre shredded is best
8 oz chopped kale *stems off
1 cup chopped red cabbage

Dressing

2 tbsp mayo *
3 tbsp white vinegar
2½ tbsp dijon mustard
2 tsp maple syrup
¼ tsp fresh ground pepper
⅛ tsp salt
⅛ tsp ground cumin

Optional Toppings

1 sliced avocado
3 tbsp pumpkin seeds
3 tbsp dried fruit

Instructions

Add all the dressing ingredients together in a medium to small bowl. Use an emulsion blender for a thick perfectly blended dressing. If you don't have an emulsion blender use a high speed blender instead. Keep to the side while you assemble the kale salad. Feel free to add 1 tbsp of water to the dressing if you'd prefer it to be thinner. Dressing will be thick and you will need to toss the salad a bit to evenly spread it.
Stem and chop kale. Slice and chop red cabbage. In a large bowl assemble all the salad ingredients. Pour dressing over the salad ingredients and mix together well.
Note: If you don't like the rough texture of the kale, drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil over kale and lightly squeeze and massage with hands to soften, them mix with the other ingredients

Notes

*Honey will also work

*Vegan mayo or Greek Yogurt will be a great substitute for mayo
