resolution salad
Ingredients:
1 bag Trader Joe’s Cruciferous Crunch Collection (kale, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, green and red cabbage mix)
¼ cup roughly chopped cilantro
6-8 Tablespoons chutney garlic dressing (see below)
¼ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup candied walnuts
Directions:
Place the Cruciferous Crunch Collection veggies in a large bowl. Add a ¼ cup of roughly chopped cilantro. Toss.
Toss the greens with six to eight tablespoons of dressing, or to taste.
Add a handful each of dried cranberries and candied walnuts. And toss once more.
The salad is best made earlier in the day so the flavors can meld and the greens can wilt a bit. Cover and refrigerate, then toss just before serving.
Serves 6
