Kale and Broccoli Salad With Orange Dressing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, even I eat healthy… sometimes. If I made this more often, I would be eating healthy ALL the time. There is nothing about this salad that isn’t good for you. I call it my heart healthy salad because it has all the ingredients that are essential for a healthy heart.   I make it with curly kale, broccoli, purple cabbage, dried cranberries and walnut pieces all tossed in a luscious orange dressing.  Besides it being so nutritious, it quick and easy to make!

 Kale and Broccoli Salad With Orange Dressing

 2 cups curly kale, chopped

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup purple cabbage, finely sliced

3/4 cup walnuts, chopped

3/4 cup dried cranberries

½ cup diced white cheddar cheese

¼ cup shredded mozzarella

 

For the Orange Dressing

1/4 cup Mayonnaise

1/4 cup Greek Yogurt

2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar

3 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice

2-1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

 

Clean and chop the broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Tear the kale into pieces and gently massage the leaves. Place in large bowl.

Add in the cabbage and cheese and toss lightly. Add in the remaining ingredients. Store for an hour in the refrigerator while you prepare the dressing.
