Ingredients

Berries

  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries or barberries unsweetened, or use fresh berries such as blueberries or raspberries
  • 1/4 cup liquid allulose or other liquid sweetener (if using stevia glycerite, dilute in 1/4 cup water), omit if using fresh berries

Salad

  • 2 cups broccoli slaw
  • 1 cup green cabbage shaved thin (I like to use a mandolin but a sharp knife works well too)
  • 2 cups kale leaves stems removed and torn
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts shaved (I like to use a mandolin but a sharp knife works well too)
  • 1 small head radicchio chopped
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds toasted

Creamy Poppyseed Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream or cashew cream for dairy-free, or almond milk for lower fat
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice or white wine vinegar, plus more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon poppyseeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon stevia glycerite or to taste, I like to add a couple drops, taste, and add more as desired
  • 1/4 teaspoon mustard dried
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • One day before serving the salad, soak the unsweetened cranberries or barberries in liquid sweetener. Refrigerate in sweetener overnight and up to 1 week ahead.
  • Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar and shake until completely combined (can be made up to 1 week ahead).
  • Just before serving, drain the berries on a paper towel. Add to all the salad ingredients in a large bowl along with the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Serve.
