Garden Greens Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing





There isn’t one piece of lettuce in this salad, 
but I’m betting you won’t miss it!

Ingredients:
1 cup coarsely chopped Kale
1 cup green cabbage, shredded
1 cup of red cabbage, shredded
1 cup of Brussel Sprouts*, thinly sliced
½ cup of dried cranberries
½ cup of Pumpkin seeds, lightly salted
16 oz of plain Greek Yogurt (I prefer Chobani because they don’t add sweeteners to their yogurt.)
3 tablespoons of Honey
2 tablespoons of Poppy Seeds
2 tablespoons of White Wine Vinegar

*Most people don’t realize that fresh, whole Brussel sprouts are available in the produce department. Use them instead of frozen varieties for this recipe.

Directions:
A mandolin chopper makes very short work of this recipe. There’s no need to stress over making perfect cuts on these veggies, you’re just going to toss them together in a bowl with your fingers.

To make the dressing, put all the ingredients into a shaker or resealable glass jar. Shake vigorously for about 2 minutes. You’re done. Keep refrigerated until you use it.

Ok, only 15 minutes have gone by and you have a beautiful delicious salad waiting to be eaten…what’s the catch? Well, for one thing you haven’t served it yet. This recipe makes 4 servings, so there’s plenty to share with your friend. Place 1 cup of the salad mix on a small plate, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons (about 1/8 of a cup) of both dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with the poppy seed dressing and enjoy!

Makes 4 servings.
