Sweet Kale Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing
This sweet kale salad is a copycat of the popular bagged salad you find in grocery stores -- but as always, homemade is way better!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 4 cups firmly packed shredded kale, finely chopped
- 2 cups broccoli slaw (from a bag)
- 2 cups shredded Brussels sprouts
- ½ cup poppy seed dressing
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup roasted pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together kale, broccoli slaw, shredded Brussels sprouts, and poppy seed dressing. Toss together until all ingredients are coated with dressing. Add more dressing if desired.4 cups firmly packed shredded kale, finely chopped, 2 cups broccoli slaw, 2 cups shredded Brussels sprouts, ½ cup poppy seed dressing

Notes
- Optional add-ins: Try chopped apples, cheese (I suggest feta, pecorino, Parmesan, or asiago), grilled or shredded chicken, or chickpeas.
- Storage: The salad will keep for up to four days in the refrigerator. I like to add the cranberries and pumpkin seeds immediately prior to serving, but they also hold up quite well to the dressing in the fridge if you opt to prep this ahead.
- Shortcut: Use purchased poppy seed dressing, or another sweet dressing of your choice, such as coleslaw dressing or Ken's sweet vidalia onion dressing.
