Instructions

  • Make the honey ginger dressing by combining all the ingredients and stirring well. Taste test and adjust with more vinegar or ginger to preference.
  • Remove all the hard stalks from the kale, and shred. Add to a bowl and drizzle on the oil and vinegar. Massage the kale for a few minutes until it has wilted down.
  • Add all the ingredients to a bowl and drizzle on the dressing. Toss to combine so the vegetables and apple are coated in the dressing.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of ginger in the dressing to taste preference.
  • Shred the cabbage and kale fairly finely.
  • Don't skip the steps of trimming and massaging the kale! It makes a huge difference and transforms your greens from bitter and tough to soft and flavourful.
