Andrea's healthy thinking is similar to mine, (me having struggled with sugar addiction !) so I decided to make this salad with a few extra additions of my own,and to try her lemon poppyseed dressing. Oh my goodness !! This salad is fantastic,healthy,and the dressing is out of this world !!! I have been making this salad for about 2 weeks now for myself,and I made it twice for Oneg on Shabbat ! Pick and choose the salad ingredients from the list that sound good to you. A mandoline works wonderfully for slicing the vegetables thin,or use a knife. So here we go.... let's eat something nutritious that tastes good !!
Salad 10 kale leaves,torn off stalk and torn into pieces
6-8 brussel sprouts,sliced thin
1 broccoli ,sliced thin (peeled stalk and florets)
2 cups red cabbage,sliced thin
2 cups green cabbage,sliced thin
2 carrots,sliced thin
1-2 apples,sliced thin
1 English cucumber,sliced thin
5 radishes,any color,sliced thin
Dressing
4 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons mayonaise
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons chia seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds
Toppings
1 tablespoon raw sunflower seeds
2 tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds
3 tablespoons dried cranberries or raisins
Instructions
Wash the vegetables,slice them thin and mix them all together in a salad bowl.For the dressing,place all the ingredients except the poppy seeds in a bowl or a blender and blend thoroughly.Pour into a jar,then mix in the poppy seeds.You can let the dressing sit for about 15 minutes,if you want,in order to thicken it a little.The chia seeds will thicken the dressing.(I like to double or quadruple the dressing recipe because it is so delicious,and I will need more if making a large salad for a crowd.) Add the amount of dressing that you feel will cover the vegetables and sprinkle on the toppings. Mangia mangia !
