Power Slaw

I have a new favorite salad – power slaw! And I’ve been eating on repeat for lunch. It’s quick to make and healthy, too.

Inspired by a salad I had for brunch at Sedona Taphouse earlier this year, power slaw is my twist on their delicious salad called “Power.” It’s quickly becoming one of my favorites. And that’s saying a lot, considering I make the best kale salad you’ll ever eat.

The recipe below is for a single, lunch-sized serving. If you’re making it for a dinner party or barbecue, just increase the amounts.

Power Slaw

2-3 Tuscan kale leaves, chopped

1 cup rainbow slaw

2 tbsp dried cranberries

2 tbsp roasted sunflower seeds

2 tbsp feta

Coleslaw dressing to taste

1. Toss together Tuscan kale, rainbow slaw, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds
2. Add dressing – as much or as a little as you like!
3. Sprinkle with feta

So easy, right!?!

Now, a few notes about the ingredients.

• I love the taste of Tuscan kale in this recipe, but curly kale works just as well.
• Rainbow slaw is a mix of broccoli, cauliflower, red cabbage, and carrots that I find at Wegman’s. I like this one because I feel like it gives me a good variety of veggies. You can also use regular coleslaw mix, a mix of kale and cabbage, or broccoli slaw.
• If I have them on hand, I’ll also toss in a few shredded Brussels sprouts for a bit of extra power.
• I use the store-bought coleslaw dressing from Wegman’s below because it’s quick and easy, but if you prefer to make your own, any traditional coleslaw/poppyseed dressing would work well.

I hope you give Power Slaw a try. I promise you will not regret it! And if you do, leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
