Ingredients

  • 8 cups chopped stemmed kale (1 medium bunch)

  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage

  • cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 3 tablespoons cider vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup sliced almonds, toasted (see Tip)

Directions

  1. Place kale and cabbage in a large bowl. Whisk oil, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, garlic powder, pepper and salt in a measuring cup. Pour over the kale mixture. With clean hands, massage and crush the greens until the volume is reduced by a third. Stir in almonds before serving.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
