Ingredients

Layered Salad Suggestions

  • 8 ounces (227 grams) shredded lettuce

  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage or 1 kohlrabi, peeled and grated

  • 1/2 cup carrot sticks or curls

  • 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved

  • handful of dried cranberries, golden raisins, or Gefen Dried Cherries

  • candied pecans

  • sweet potato chips, croutons, or chow mein noodles, for garnish

Dressing

Directions

Prepare the Salad

1.

Place all dressing ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and blend with a hand blender (cover bowl partially with a plastic bag so it won’t spray all over). Don’t allow the mixture to become a mush; it should remain piece-y. Alternatively, pulse for just a few seconds in the food processor, taking care that it blends quickly together, but still has pieces.

2.

Layer the salad ingredients in a large bowl, drizzling the dressing after the cabbage and on top of the tomatoes so it’ll be evenly distributed.

Tips:

When I doubled this dressing, which I advise you to do, I used 1/3 cup oil and 1/3 cup water. It was still nice and creamy and just as good.

Notes:

This salad can easily be customized to suit your preferences. Do not use watery veggies such as cucumbers, celery, or mushrooms for this salad.

Prepare the Salad

Salad serves 8, dressing yields scant 2/3 cup.

This salad was colorful, healthy, and delicious. We did not have candied nuts so we had to skip them. I was a little surprised that the dressing called for almonds, but I followed the recipe as it was written and it was a hit! I will definitely be adding this to my salad rotation.

do you blend the almonds together with the other dressing ingredients?

Yes so it gives it texture. “Don’t allow the mixture to become a mush; it should remain piece-y. Alternatively, pulse for just a few seconds in the food processor, taking care that it blends quickly together, but still has pieces.”

I did! It was a surprising step, but it was really great.
