Ingredients

Salad Option 1

  • 1 bag Sweet Kale Vegetable Salad Kit from Costco

Salad Option 2

  • 8 oz Brussels sprouts sliced thin using a sharp knife or food processor
  • 2 cups finely chopped kale
  • 1 cup broccoli slaw
  • 2 cups thinly sliced cabbage I buy a small bag of pre sliced red cabbage

For the dressing

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 5 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest

Toppings (Optional)

  • Dried cranberries
  • Chopped nuts or seeds
  • Fruit: apples, clementines, pears, berries
  • Goat cheese or feta cheese

Instructions

  • Combine ingredients for dressing and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Toss vegetables together for salad and add desired toppings.  If you plan to dress the salad before serving, I would serve fruit and cheese toppings on the side.
  • When you are ready, pour dressing over salad and toss well to combine.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator...I still love it the next day!

Notes

21 Day Fix: 1 GREEN, 1 ORANGE, plus optional toppings (per serving)
WW link for personal points: Maple Cider Holiday Salad (base, without optional toppings or dressing); Dressing: Maple Cider Vinaigrette  [Note: feel free to use your favorite low point dressing, or count dressings as you normally would]; Toppings are extra- don't forget to calculate!
