Kale Salad

• 10 to 12 ounces washed and roughly chopped kale leaves
• 3 cups of red cabbage, shredded
• 1 grapefruit peeled and sliced ½ inch slices
• 1 orange peeled and sliced ½ inch slices
• 4 cups cauliflower florets, diced
• 4 cups of Brussels Sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 4 cups broccoli florets, diced
• 2 cups of parsnips peeled and sliced ½ inch slices
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 10 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons of sea salt
• 4 pieces of Secret Island Salmon

Dressing

• 1 tablespoon of lemon
• 2 tablespoons of orange
• 1 tablespoon of grapefruit juice
• 1 tablespoon of spicy mustard
• 3/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of sea salt

Simple Steps

Pickle the Red Cabbage

Add cabbage to a large bowl along with 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar. Stir, cover, and let it rest at room temperature for 15-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Roast Vegetables

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Place broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, Brussels sprouts, and parsnips on separate baking sheets. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin oil over each vegetable and toss until they are lightly and evenly coated.

Roast cauliflower florets for 15-17 minutes or browned at the edges. Roast sliced parsnips for 15-20 minutes until softened. Roast broccoli florets for 15-20 minutes or until browned around the edges. Roast Brussels sprouts for 20-25 minutes until they are tender and golden on the edges.

Roast Salmon

Preheat the oven to 325°F.

Season salmon with 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and 1 teaspoon sea salt. Place salmon, skin side down, on a non-stick baking sheet. Roast until salmon is cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Salad Dressing

In a medium size bowl or measuring cup, add all ingredients and whisk until combined.

Assemble The Salad

Combine kale, roasted vegetables, pickled red cabbage, grapefruit, orange, and salmon in a large serving bowl. Add dressing and toss until well coated. Enjoy!
