Ingredients

Lemon balsamic dressing (use half for this recipe)

Instructions

  • Place the slivered almonds in a small pan over medium high heat and toast for a couple minutes until fragrant. Remove to a plate to cool down.
  • Slice kale thin and place in a large bowl. Add a pinch of salt and 1 tsp olive oil. Massage with your hands for a minute until the leaves feel soft.
  • Add broccoli, red onion and cranberries.

  • In a small bowl, mix all dressing ingredients.
  • Pour half of the dressing into the bowl (save the rest for another salad). Toss well. Top with almonds and serve.

Notes

The proportions given for the dressing make double the amount needed for this recipe. The rest can keep refrigerated for a week and can be used on any salad. It is easier to make a batch this size since it uses the juice of a whole lemon, and it makes for a convenient pre-mixed dressing for future use.
