Ingredients
Rainbow ‘Slaw’:
2 cups kale or arugula or your fav greens, finely chopped
½ red bell or orange pepper, diced
¼ cup mint, coarsely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
¼ cup cilantro or parsley, coarsely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
Topping:
½ cup asparagus, bite-sized pieces
½ cup artichoke hearts (for convenience, I use pre-prepared hearts from a jar)
½ cup blueberries, fresh if possible
2 tablespoons natural almonds, quartered
Vinaigrette:
¼ cup coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard (I love the crunch of whole grain Dijon)
½ teaspoon maple syrup, to taste (or your favourite sweetener)
Himalayan or Celtic sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Method
Combine the rainbow slaw: cabbage, carrots, broccoli, greens, pepper and herbs in a large salad bowl.
Gently steam asparagus, cool and add to salad, then add each ingredient on top; sprinkle with avocado, artichoke hearts, peas and blueberries. Then top with sesame seeds and almonds.
Make Vinaigrette:
Whisk together oil, juice or vinegar, mustard, horseradish, maple syrup, salt and pepper in a small bowl or mason jar.
Drizzle vinaigrette over salad and toss gently to coat. taste and season again with salt & pepper, to taste. Serve and enjoy, your heart will ♥ you!
