Directions
- Rip the kale leaves from the thickest portion of the stem and place into a large bowl. Then drizzle 1 tbsp of oil and lemon juice or apple cider vinegar onto the leaves to massage them until tender. Set aside.
- Chop or shred purple cabbage, massaged kale, carrot and other vegetables. Add the minced red onion and chickpeas.
- In a food processor or high-powered blender, add the cashews, water, lemon juice, mustard, garlic powder, garlic clove, Worcestershire sauce, and capers. Salt and pepper as desired. Blend until desired consistency is reached by adding a splash of water if needed.
- Toss the salad with the dressing and serve.
Tips
- No Radish
Sub Purple Cabbage - No Kale
Use Romaine Lettuce and Green Lettuce - Massaging Kale
Pre-massage the kale using a pinch of salt and some lemon juice or apple cider vinegar and olive oil. Very little is needed to massage the kale until it is tender.
