Salad with kale, cabbage, radish, side of dressing from "Christmas Salad with Tangy Dill Dressing" recipe by Green Smoothie Girl

Christmasy Salad with Tangy Dill Dressing

I have noticed an interesting phenomenon: the salads people like best are the ones that have interesting combinations of nuts and fruit in the greens. This salad is that kind—the one you take to a party and is the first to disappear. Everyone will ask you for the recipe. And, your family will be delighted if you make it at home, too, to avoid burning out on the “same old” salad. 

Course Salad
15 minutes
10 servings

  2. Pour over salad and mix well.
