Organic Kale Salad with Cranberries and Almonds

Courtesy of Young and Raw

We brought this salad to a potluck at the Organic Pastures Dairy Farm.  The second annual Camping with the Cows was Memorial Day weekend.  We had so much fun!  On Saturday night they have a potluck and OPDC provides grass-fed beef chili, raw milk cheese, and raw milk.  So yummy!  Maybe we'll see you there next year.

Our salad was a huge hit.  Enjoy!

Salad:

1 bunch of raw kale (may be slightly steamed if you have trouble digesting raw)
1 large carrot, shredded
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup toasted, chopped raw almonds (or raw nut of choice)

Combine all ingredients and top with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

Dressing:

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon raw honey
pinch sea salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots

Whisk together all dressing ingredients except olive oil and shallots.  Gradually pour in olive oil, whisking continually until combined.  Stir in shallots.
