Whisk in capers, pickling liquid, garlic and lemon juice. Season with salt to taste and snipped chives. In large bowl, combine kale with dressing and let sit for 10 minutes until softened. Add cabbage, carrots, and herbs. Toss. Season with salt and pepper if needed.

KALE AND CABBAGE SLAW WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Toast the nuts, if desired. Arrange the nuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake whole, chopped, or slivered nuts in a preheated 350 F oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, checking and turning them frequently. Sliced almonds will take about half the time. Watch closely.
• Cut the middle rib out of each lacinato kale leaf. Roll the leaves up into a tight roll and slice them chiffonade-style into thin strips. Put the strips of kale in a large bowl. You should have about 2 to 3 cups.
• Cut the core out of the cabbage half and shred or chop the cabbage. Transfer the cabbage to the bowl with the kale.
• Toss the chopped nuts with the kale and cabbage. Prepare the Dressing
• In a canning jar or bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, minced garlic, vinegar, and olive oil. Whisk or shake well. Add a dash of salt and some freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
• Drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons of the Dijon mustard vinaigrette over the salad. Toss the salad. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
• Serve with the extra dressing on the side.

JULIENNED-CARROT AND KALE SALAD

Steps:

• Combine carrots and kale in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, honey, and Dijon. Slowly add oil in a steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle vegetables with dressing; adjust seasoning as desired. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with hempseeds, and serve.

KALE SALAD WITH CREAMY CAPER DRESSING

Steps:

• In your blender (or mini food processor) add mayo, greek yogurt, dijon, capers, vinegar, parsley, dill and black pepper.
• Secure the lid, removing the center plug. Cover with a clean kitchen towel, and with the blender running, slowly pour in the olive oil.
• Transfer to a jar, cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Yields 1¼ cups.
• Melt butter in a small skillet. Add garlic powder and panko. Stir occasionally until deep golden brown. Remove and let cool.
• Strip the leaves from the kale stems. Roughly chop before rinsing well and spinning dry. (I use a salad spinner for this)
• Place clean chopped kale to a large bowl and toss with desired amount of dressing. (For 2 large bunches of chopped kale, I personally use all the dressing)
• Transfer dressed kale to a large platter, top with garlicky crumbs and serve.

KALE, CABBAGE & CARROT SALAD WITH CREAMY CAPER DRESSING

Steps:

• 1. In medium bowl, whisk egg yolk with mustard. While whisking constantly, slowly dribble in oils. Continue whisking until oil is fully incorporated and mixture is thick and pale in color. 2. Whisk in capers, pickling liquid, garlic and lemon juice. Season with salt to taste and snipped chives, if using. 3. In a large bowl, combine all vegetables and herbs, if using. Add dressing and toss, using both hands to mix until dressing coats all ingredients. Allow salad to marinate until vegetables soften, at least 10 minutes.

CRUNCHY CABBAGE AND KALE SALAD WITH GARLIC-PARMESAN VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Place the panko, peeled and smashed garlic cloves and thyme sprigs in a medium skillet and set over medium-low heat. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the panko and cook, stirring often, until the panko is golden, about 5 minutes. Season with a 1/2 teaspoon of salt and several grinds of black pepper. Discard the garlic and thyme, then spread the panko on a large plate to cool.
• While the breadcrumbs are cooling, place the cabbage on a cutting board with the root end facing up; cut in half. Place each half cut-side down and then cut each half into 2 equal wedges. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the cabbage wedges into thin ribbons, making sure to avoid slicing the core. (Keeping the core intact helps to hold cabbage in place and makes slicing easier.) Place the sliced cabbage and kale in a large serving bowl.
• Peel and halve the beets. Shave the beet halves with a sharp knife or mandoline into thin half-moon slices and place in the bowl with the sliced cabbage and kale.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the grated garlic clove, vinegar and honey. Whisking continuously, drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil until emulsified. Stir in the grated Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Gently toss the salad with the vinaigrette until evenly dressed. Sprinkle with the almonds, toasted breadcrumbs and shaved Parmesan just before serving.
