Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 bunch kale finely chopped
  • ½ head cabbage finely chopped
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped (sub cilantro if you don't mind it, I hate cilantro)
  • ½ cup cashews
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (optional)
  • ½ cup Sesame Miso Vinaigrette (ingredients below!)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Sesame Miso Vinaigrette (makes ¾ cup)

  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon miso
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 teaspoon tamari/soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons filtered water plus more as needed for viscosity

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients for dressing by whisking in small bowl or shaking together in a small mason jar with lid. Taste with a piece of kale or cabbage and adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Put the kale in a large bowl. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of the dressing and a generous pinch of sea salt. Massage the chopped kale with your hands until the kale is completely coated and slightly wilted.
  • Add shredded cabbage, green onions, mint, parsley, shredded chicken if using, and half the almonds. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and toss gently to combine.
  • Divide salad among plates. Garnish each serving with remaining almonds.

Notes

Store leftover dressed salad in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Leftover dressed salad will take on a softer, marinated texture. Store leftover undressed prepped (i.e. washed, dried, and chopped) salad greens in the refrigerator for three days. 
Extra Sesame Miso Vinaigrette will keep for five days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
