This Kale Power Salad is packed full of tons of healthy green goodies, a perfect way to detox this Fall!
I’m totally obsessed with this salad. I’ve made it 5 times in the past two weeks. It makes a giant batch too, so I eat it for days.
It’s packed full of kale, brussel sprouts, broccoli slaw, craisins, and roasted pumpkin seeds. Then I toss it all in a simple homemade poppy seed dressing.
Are you a brussel sprouts fan? If you’ve never tried them shredded in a salad, you’re definitely missing out. They taste like little cabbages, but pack a powerful amount of nutrients and fiber!
I used to not be a huge fan of kale, but now that I’ve made this salad, I’m a changed woman.
I’m pretty sure you’re going to love this salad too.
You could even throw in some grilled chicken strips for a super healthy lunch or dinner!
What’s not to love about that?!
This will be your go-to salad this Fall!

Well, I can NOT wait to try this one out. I love Kale. I have never shredded Brussel Sprouts either! Looking forward to it!

I don’t see any rubbing of the cut Kale in your hands. Check out the website for THE CHEW. Daphne does a KALE salad, but rubs the KALE between her hands first before dressing.
Shawn
That’s a great tip! You could definitely rub the kale before adding the rest of the ingredients to soften the texture if you prefer. 🙂 Thanks Linda!

Never tried kale–how does it compare (texture & taste wise) to spinach?
Shawn
It’s firmer than spinach, and the taste is comparable. You could definitely substitute baby spinach in place of the kale if you’re concerned. 🙂
