Ingredients

  • 3 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 2 cups red cabbage, shredded
  • 2 large carrots, grated
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, finely chopped
  • 2 cups kale, chopped
  • 1 large cucumber, diced
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • For the Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash and prepare all vegetables by shredding, chopping, grating, and slicing as needed.
  2. Place the green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, broccoli, kale, cucumber, green onions, and parsley into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds.
  4. In a separate bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
  6. Divide the salad into meal-prep containers or transfer it to a large airtight container.
  7. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Store the dressing separately for maximum freshness if preparing several days ahead.
  • Add grilled chicken, chickpeas, tofu, salmon, or hard-boiled eggs for extra protein.
  • Shredded Brussels sprouts can be substituted for part of the cabbage.
  • Spinach can replace kale for a milder flavor.
  • Dried cranberries, diced apples, or pomegranate seeds add a touch of sweetness.
  • Sliced almonds or chopped walnuts provide additional crunch.
  • Salad stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
