Recipe Notes
Recipe Notes:
- You can use broccolini in place of broccoli. Instead of shredding, using a sharp knife, mince florets and stalk.
- The things that stay fresh the longest are usually the things that are the healthiest for you.
- The best time to eat kale is after the first frost because the flavor profile is at its best then.
- Store dressing in a container and only use the amount needed for salad being served. Store extra in refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can use balsamic vinegar or champagne vinegar in place of apple cider vinegar.
- The dressing makes a great dip for grilled or fresh vegetables, fish, or any salad that calls for a lightly sweet dressing.
