Get Your Kale and Collards

In this recipe, I am using Kale and Collards fresh from my garden, but this salad is delicious with any of the cruciferous vegetables: broccoli, cabbage, even Brussel sprouts can be substituted in.

Make the Dressing

Combine 1/2 cup of Mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of Sugar and 1/4 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar (keep the ratios the same, but adjust quantity depending on how much salad you are making).

Roughly Chop Your Greens and Add Them to the Dressing

Chill for at Least 2 Hours

This helps the ingredients to combine and makes sure the salad is served nice and cold.
