Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp vegetables: The fresher your vegetables, the better your salad will taste. Look for kale, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Shred the vegetables thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing more easily and make them easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of textures: For a more interesting salad, use a mix of vegetables with different textures, such as crunchy kale, tender cabbage, and firm Brussels sprouts.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the salad and make it soggy.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store the vegetables and dressing separately and assemble the salad just before serving.

Conclusion:

This kale, cabbage, and Brussels sprout salad is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy these winter vegetables. It's packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, and fiber.
