kale and purple cabbage salad

How do you make salad? Is it out of a box? Do you make your own dressing?

We used to have our salad pre-washed, pre-sorted, and easy to make. Our dressing was balsamic vinegar and olive oil. You can't get simpler than that.

My latest favorite salad is this one. Almost as easy to make and much prettier than our old version, it has been perfect for the cold months. And the ingredients keep really well. No more wilting, spring greens growing slimy in our fridge. I keep a bunch of kale and a head of cabbage, just slice off some cabbage and de-stem some kale and I'm done. Add some crumbled feta and my honey-mustard dressing and it is the perfect combination of spicy-sweet, crunchy cabbage, with crisp, leafy, tart kale and creamy sweet feta cheese. I highly recommend it.
