I wanted to share this festive salad that we ate on Christmas day last year. It as healthy as it is beautiful.
Of course it will serve your gluten free, diary free, and vegan guests.
It contains bunches of rich dark green kale mixed with chopped red radicchio, strands of grated snow white cabbage, candied dried cranberries, and a variety of seeds and nuts. This colorful combination is then tossed in a sweet creamy citrus dressing.
Vegan, Gluten Free, and exotic, this special salad is welcome at any celebration, but the rich red and green presentation makes it perfect for Christmas.
We had a vegetarian brunch on Christmas day and my cousin Elaine brought this salad slaw. Elaine is a fabulous cook and always makes wonderful salad and vegetable recipes, so of course I asked for the recipe.
Salad:
1 large bunch of curly kale, washed, ribs removed, and chopped.
1/2 cup chopped escarole
1 cup of grated white cabbage
1 cup red raddichio, chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup of walnuts
Dressing.
1/4 cup olive oil
1/8 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup orange juice
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 teaspoon of mayo ( just a drop) can use vegan mayo
poppy seeds , salt and pepper to taste
mix well toss on salad...

I admire vegetarians for their commitment and dedication. That salad looks delicious but I find it hard to break the meat and fish habit.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good, and looks so pretty and festive. Initially, I didn't particularly care for kale because I found it to be too tough. Lately, though, I have been buying baby kale and find it I like it quite a bit. Thanks for the recipe.
