Super Food Kale Salad

This salad was amazing!  The dressing was delicious.  For those of you who think that a main meal needs meat or if you think that you can't get full from a salad, this salad will show you otherwise.  You can make this salad for 2 as a main meal or you can make it for 4-6 as a side dish.  I started adding cabbage to salads because Atzin really likes the crunchiness of cabbage in his salads.  Cabbage is also a great anti-inflammatory, has protective properties against dementia, has cancer preventative compounds, etc. etc.

I used this salad as a main meal for us yesterday for lunch.  It was also great pre workout.

Ingredients:

6 cups chopped kale
2 cups thinly sliced cabbage
1/2 dried non-sweetened cherries (or other types of berries like blue, cran, or goji)
1/4 raw pumpkin seeds
2 TBS hemp seeds
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 apple cider vinegar
2 TBS maple syrup
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp garlic powder
sea salt and pepper to taste.

1.  In a large bowl combine kale, cabbage, cherries, and seeds.
2. In a smaller bowl, make the dressing with the olive oil, vinegar, maple syrup, and spices.
3. Pour the dressing over the salad and add the sea salt and pepper to taste.
