Broccoli Kale Salad with Cranberries
Broccoli Kale Salad with Cranberries has it all! It's got a fresh crunch from the broccoli and walnuts, a tangy chew from the dried cranberries, and the best creamy bite from fresh avocado. The tangy balsamic-Dijon dressing brings it all together!
Ingredients
For The Salad
- 8 cups chopped kale greens
- 3 cups small broccoli florets, cut into bite size pieces
- 3 cups shredded purple cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots

- ¼ cup minced fresh parsley
- ¼ cup dried cranberries, or dried cherries
- 1 (or 2) avocado, diced
For The Dressing
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
- Add the chopped kale greens to a large salad bowl and massage it to soften it for 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
- Mix the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl or jar and pour over the kale.
- Add the broccoli florets, purple cabbage, carrots, walnuts or almonds, parsley and cranberries into the bowl and toss until combined.
- Add the avocado right before serving and lightly toss the salad once more. Serve this salad fresh if you like it extra crunchy, but I like it best after it has chilled in the fridge for a couple of hours (or up to overnight). The salad soaks up some of the dressing, which softens it a little, and allows more time for the flavors to meld.
