KALE, CABBAGE, AND BRUSSELS SPROUT SALAD



Kale, Cabbage, and Brussels Sprout Salad image

Hale and hearty, this kale salad is a powerhouse of nutrients that is very easy to eat! The salad bursts with the flavor of mandarin oranges, sweet and tart strawberries, and has a pleasant poppy seed dressing. When mangoes are in season, you can substitute them for the mandarin oranges or walnuts and pomegranates, toasted cashews or walnuts, and apples in the fall for different flavors. The possibilities are endless!

RAW KALE AND BRUSSELS SPROUT SALAD



Raw Kale and Brussels Sprout Salad image

When you slice Brussels Sprouts thin enough, they can go in any salad--no cooking required. Make it easy on yourself and throw them into the food processor. Mix them with a little kale that you've massaged with lemon juice (to break down the toughness of the leaves) and you have a great salad for any fall dinner table.
