Chopped Kale Salad {Detox Salad}
I've dubbed this chopped kale salad my "detox salad" and I make it whenever I've been food-binging and need to bring my diet back in line! This delicious salad is a blend of fresh greens, crunchy veggies, and flavorful toppings, all tossed in a tangy citrus ginger dressing. It's loaded with nutrients and antioxidants and will be your go-to recipe when you need something light and flavorful!
Ingredients
For the citrus ginger dressing
- 1/4 cup lemon juice juice from 2 lemons
- 1/4 cup orange juice + 2 tsp orange zest 1 orange
- 1/4 cup olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tsp peeled ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp honey you can add a bit more for more sweetness-sometimes this depends on how sweet your orange is
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/8 tsp EACH coarse salt and black pepper
For the chopped kale salad
- 5 cups kale, chopped I prefer baby kale
- 2 cups broccoli, chopped
- 2 cups red cabbage, chopped
- 1 cup carrot, grated
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup almonds, chopped or sliced
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup goji berries or dried cranberries
Instructions
- Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients. For more sweetness, add a bit more honey.
- Assemble: To the same bowl, add all salad ingredients. Toss well to combine. You can either enjoy the salad right away or let it chill for about 30 minutes to allow the dressing to absorb a bit into the veggies!
Notes
Pro Tip: Use the food processor! If you have a bit of extra time, drop your kale, broccoli, and cabbage into a food processor and pulse 3-4 times until the veggies are finely chopped. I love the texture of this salad when chopping the veggies this way!
