How To Make sweet kale salad
-
Step 1Combine the kale, broccoli sticks, mandarin oranges, cranberries, and nuts/seeds in a large bowl.
-
Step 2In a smallish bowl or jar, whisk or shake together the mayonnaise, milk, vinegar, sugar, poppy seeds, and salt.
-
Step 3Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to thoroughly coat. Let the salad rest for at least 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
-
Step 4NOTE: you can use bottled poppy seed dressing instead of making your own, but you may want to thin it down with a little vinegar!
