Kale Fennel Cabbage Salad

Earthy kale, fresh fennel, and hardy cabbage give this salad a really good crunch. Paired with all the extra fixings and a sweet tangy dressing, this one is a winner.

Since it’s extra hardy, this salad will easily last 2-3 days in the fridge if it needs to. Just refresh with a little extra dressing come time. I have this salad paired with a honey lime dressing, but you can easily pair it with another sweet and tangy dressing of your choice. A creamy tahini pairs wonderfully with this salad, but if you need fat-free, you can easily omit that add in.

Notes

Since it’s super hardy, this salad will easily last 2-3 days in the fridge if it needs to. Just refresh with a little extra dressing come time. I have this salad paired with a honey lime dressing, but you can easily pair it with another sweet and tangy dressing of your choice. A creamy tahini pairs wonderfully with this salad, but if you need fat-free, you can easily omit that add in.

Tidbit: If serving guests, I would add in the full 2 TBSP of tahini and possibly even some toasted sliced almonds for a little extra something something.
