  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

For the Kale Salad

  • 2 medium to large-sized russet potatoes about 1/2 a potato per serving
  • 4 cups halved brussels sprouts about 1 cup per serving
  • 6 cups de-stemmed and finely chopped kale about 1.5 cups per serving
  • 8 tbsp dried cranberries 2 tbsp per serving
  • 8 tbsp chopped walnuts 2 tbsp per serving
  • salt and pepper for roasting the potatoes and brussels sprouts
  • olive or avocado oil cooking spray for roasting the brussels sprout

Instructions

To Make the Dressing

  • To make the dressing, add all ingredients to a container and either shake or whisk vigorously or add to a small blender cup and process to combine.

To Make the Roasted Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line two baking pans with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  • Cut the ends of the brussel sprouts and cut them in half, place on one of the pans.
  • Cut the potatoes into small cubes and place on the other baking pan.
  • Spray the brussels sprouts with a light coating of olive oil or avocado oil cooking spray or drizzle with about 1/4 tsp olive oil.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper over both the potatoes and brussel sprouts and use your hands to make sure everything is well-coated.
  • Place both pans in the oven. Roast the brussel sprouts for about 25-30 minutes until starting to brown. Roast the potatoes for 40-45 minutes until tender, puffy and browned.

To Assemble the Warm Kale Salad

  • Remove the kale leaves from the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Drizzle the chopped kale with 1/4 tsp olive oil and massage with your hands until soft and dark green.
  • Divide the kale between 4 servings and top each with equal amounts of the potatoes, brussels sprouts, cranberries and walnuts. 
  • Spoon the dressing evenly over each salad and serve right away.

Notes

The dressing recipe makes enough for about 4 salads. Store any extra dressing in the fridge for up to 1 week.
