Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup almonds toasted chopped
  •  avocado 
  • tablespoon balsamic vinegar 
  • teaspoon dijon mustard 
  • 0.3  cabbage green
  • tablespoon honey 
  • bunch tuscan kale 
  • tablespoon juice of lemon 
  • 0.3 cup olive oil

Directions

  1. Stack the kale leaves in a tight bunch and slice into thin shreds, starting with the tops. Slice the cabbage into shreds and toss it bit by bit with the kale, adding until the amounts of kale and cabbage are roughly equal.To make the dressing, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, mustard and balsamic vinegar. Taste and adjust to your preference, adding more honey for sweetness or more mustard for increased zing.
  2. Add oil bit by bit as you whisk until the dressing thickens.
