Ingredients:
Salad
- 8 ounces organic shredded kale
- 10 ounces shaved brussels sprouts
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 6 pieces cooked bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- Shaved parmesan cheese, to taste
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Dressing
- 1/4 cup olive or avocado oil
- 1/4 cup Wedderspoon Raw Manuka Honey
- 1/4 cup Wedderspoon apple cider vinegar with Manuka Honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Add the kale, brussels sprouts, pecans, raisins, pumpkin seeds, bacon, parmesan, salt and pepper together into a large bowl (the larger, the better), and toss well with tongs or a spatula.
- In a small mason jar or bottle, add all of the dressing ingredients together and shake well.
- Add the desired amount of dressing to the salad and mix well so that the entire salad is covered in dressing.
- If you'd like to let the dressing flavor really absorb, let the dressing marinate on the slaw for a bit before eating. This will make it even more flavorful.
- Optional: Add cooked chicken, cup up burger or veggie burger pieces, or salmon on top of the salad for some extra protein and to make it more filling.
This salad can be stored in the fridge for up to five days, which makes it a perfect meal prep dish to last you the week. If you are going to store it, consider putting a bit less dressing on when you make it, and save the dressing in a mason jar to use when you're eating it. This will prevent the kale from getting too soggy.
If you're vegetarian, you can still enjoy this salad - just simply omit the bacon! And, if you're looking to add vegetarian protein to this salad, consider cutting up a veggie burger or tofu to top it with.
