1 bunch lacinato kale leaves (stems removed, chiffonade)
6 ounces shaved brussels sprouts
1/2 small head radicchio (shaved)
1/2 head cabbage (red or green will both work as will Savoy which we used here, shaved)

1/4 cup shaved Parmesan (vegan if desired - we use Violife or you can leave the cheese out}
2/3 cup dried cranberries
2/3 cup sliced almonds

Method

1
Chiffonade the kale then use a mandoline to shave the brussels sprouts, radicchio, and cabbage. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
2
In a mason jar mix together the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, agave or honey, salt and pepper.
3
Pour the dressing over the slaw and gently toss.
4
Taste and season with additional salt and pepper then add in the Parmesan, cranberries, and almonds. Toss well to combine.

Notes

Store the salad in an airtight container for up to 4 days. I suggest adding more dressing when you are ready to serve as the dressing can soak into the salad. I also like to add more fresh herbs in to freshen the salad up.
