Ingredients

  • 1 bunch Black kale
  • 2 cups Broccoli
  • 2 Green apples
  • 2 English cucumber
  • ⅓ cup Dried Cranberries
  • ⅓ cup Slivered almonds
  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon Maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt

Instructions

  • Toast the almonds on the stove in a small pan over low-medium heat. Don't let them burn; check and shake often. Will take about 6-8 minutes to toast them. Remove from heat when they get a nice golden brown on them.
  • While the nuts are toasting, wash and chop up all the salad ingredients: chop the black kale kales, finely dice the cucumbers, chop the broccoli and dice the apple.
  • Add the kale, broccoli, cucumber, apple and dried cranberries to a very large bowl.
  • Whisk up the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup and salt.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine everything.
  • Top with the toasted almonds. Serve right away.

Notes

Yield: a LOT. This salad makes 10-12 cups.
When you're chopping the ingredients, make them as small as your want. I like smaller than bite sized so you get all the salad ingredients in one bite!
Make ahead tip: you can make this salad up to 1 day in advance. Chop everything except the apple. Store the salad ingredients in a large bowl in the fridge. Store the toasted nuts and dressing separate from the salad. Add the apple, nuts and dressing right before serving.
